Art, Christina's web page is a vital eduacational tool, much like the
public hangings in Iran. Remember when they hung the five skyjackers
from the aircraft wing at the Tehran Airport back in the 70's after an
on the spot "trial"? 

You haven't seen any skyjackings of Iranian airliner ever since, have
you?

Christina Young's web page has more dead guys on it than you can count,
and has more examples of what NOT to do in tech diving than I have ever
seen in one place. 

If everyone would just look at her site with this in mind , we could cut
the accident rates in half, in my estimation, and the site of dead guys
with the absolute worst bullshit gear configs is much like the sight of
the bodies dangling from the aircraft wing - very convincing.
