remarks scattered within Any leads on research appreciated OFF LIST. Don Burke Chesapeake, Virginia ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry, Quinn F <quinn.f.harry@lm*.co*> > Don, Bill & Others, > > Any chance one of you folks can get the compiled list placed on a website ? I've been pondering the best way to go easy on the friends and families of the persons involved while accomplishing the following goals: 1. Extract meaningful training value from each incident. 2. Ensure that each incident is not an "urban legend" and did actually happen. 3. Eliminate duplication. 4. Eliminate "prank" entries. There are people who would love to figure out a way to sneak George Irvine, Michael J. Black and many others on this. I don't want to entertain such foolishness. My idea is to create a roll of incidents, by date and location, with enough details to get the point across. > Such a "Body Count" would be VERY helpful to the community as a whole, IMHO. As just a "body count", it is nearly useless. As a roll of incidents with the names removed (but not especially difficult to find out) and the pertinent details added, there is signifigant training value. > There is a Body Count site already, but it's focus is on RB's and does not > appear to be updated recently There are several sites around. I've found a few and would appreciate URLs for others. The archives from: http://www.nytimes.com http://www.chicagotribune.com and http://www.pilotonline.com (Norfolk, VA) have been tremendously helpful. > I'd sure like to see such "accountability" on the net.

The corrections and details are slowly coming out as I research the stories I get from people on this list and various sites. The original put some divers who made one mistake out of ignorance (among hundreds of well researched decisions) in the same category as divers who went for 500 feet on a single 80 filled with air. Maybe I'm just getting sentimental in my old age, but I think that is simply wrong and these men and women deserve considerably better. _____NetZero Free Internet Access and Email______ http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
