Look for the Today Show link

Small box near the center of page ... as of 930mst, it was #6 of 13 video
clips you could choose from.


Here's the link to the video:

All I get is
"Amazing video quality Install this free software, and then receive
select videos delivered to your computer in crystal-clear quality."

I don't know what it is about peddlers of unknown software who seem to
think that just because it's free everyone wants it.

Sorry about that. I right clicked on the 'Play' button, and selected
'Properties' and cut out the URL. It should have provided the correct
URL to play the video, but ...

If you search for 'Pilot' on the http://video.msn.com/ page, it will
be one of the choices returned.

I finally got it to play. I had to use IE (no surprise, this is a
Microsoft site) and activate flash, and also sneak in from behind. Of
course I deactivated flash as soon as I finished. I hope MSN didn't
shove any "free" software on me while I wasn't looking.

I really appreciate your efforts, Larry, but that one just redirects me to a
similar "download this software" page --

Not only that, but the software requires an OS upgrade. At least for me.

You have to have MS Video Enhanced software installed to view the
video. I guess I didn't get that download page you got, because the
software was already installed on my computer.

MSNBC has used every trick in the book it seems. It's just not
possible to get a link to the video by any usual means, and I wasn't
able to find it by perusing IE's cache or the source code either.

This is what it says in the address bar when the video is playing in
IE:
http://video.msn.com/video/p.htm?t=1...c8ca634ff6&rf=


Lot's of good news on the subject he

Did anybody else watch the video ?
He is claiming that the student was at the controls the whole time !!
And when asked if he would do anything different next time he said he would
have taken the controls and turned away from Washington.

Does anybody believe this new story ?

I believe the pilot is a confused coward who, having screwed up, isn't
man enough to admit it, and instead is more or less blaming the
student pilot! I wonder if the student was going to try to log the
time? They should bust him too. A real couple of bozos.

I agree with you on the pilot. A PIC trying to push some of the
heat onto his passenger is repugnant.

It might be tough to log dual without a CFI's singature. Frankly, as
far as the student is concerned, I'm not ready to hang him. This could
likely be a case of a student that doesn't know much about flying, who
put way more trust in the pilot than he should have.

I can remember when I was a student. I looked up to people who had
been flying for decades and assumed that they knew a hell of a lot more
about flying than I did. I flew with an instructor that was downright
dangerous, but I didn't have a clue until quite a long time later.

Put yourself in the student's shoes and take another look at it.
