I hope if I die in an aircrash people don't continually advertise the video all over the net...


"Look at this vid to see poor Bloggs stoofing it in..."


Just happening more and more. It's sadder though that a news company is still showing it on their site...

That is the way of the Internet and the blood lust of the people. If you ever end up a rising black cloud (And I do hope not of course), you can go to you grave assured of:

The video making the news.
A series of still images in the papers.
Dedicated websites that collect such videos ensuring your digital immortality.
If unlucky enough when surfing, a reminder to your nearest and dearest and closest friends of the size of the fireball that you made as you departed this world.
And lastly every armchair pilot who wants to watch and pass comment on a website/forum as to what you did wrong.
