Ouch! "Just a few dings around the edges..."
Thanks for the pics.

Um, my ES knowledge is a little outdated, but aren't we supposed to get permission before putting pictures out on the Internet for everyone to see?
Permission from who ????? Pictures shot by CAP on an Air Force Mission, unless classified, might even be considered public record. Do newspapers or TV stations need permission to print/broadcast pictures of anyone or thing of news value. The answer is a big No. (unless shot for profit)
The CAP PIO for that mission acting on behalf of the IC in accordance with 60-3, thats who.
To the best of my knowledge, they were posted with the permission of the IC. He's in my unit. We had a lengthy discussion of the pix at our meeting last night.
There was nothing in them, except perhaps the FAA registration number, that could be considered sensitive.
Sounds good, just wasn't sure.
Actually, I would say they should be taken down. It's not always operational, there's also a measure of good taste on an open forum. A plane crash, particularly one with no survivors, is a horrific and terrible thing, and we need to have some reverence for that.
This is exactly why I tell all of my new trainees that if they ever post pictures of a real plane crash on the internet, they'll have a very unfriendly meeting with my boot.
Yea, those aren't what I'd call cool or something to brag about.
I thought they both survived?
We don't really have any clear direction on publishing crash pictures in general. Of course anything that shows anything graphic is out, but NHQ regularly publishes crash photos in the Volunteer. So, I'd say that pending approval by the IC through the PIO, most photos that are in good taste would be acceptable to release.
Until CAP becomes the NTSB
I personally wouldn't be posting it here
Never know the legal type CAPers and how they would feel
Never know how the lawyers and insurance companies acting in behalf of the aircraft owner, pilot and others are going to react to CAP's new found asignment....aircraft crash photojournalism
Be careful when one picks up the phone >:D >:D >:D
Pics 1 and 2 are of a fatal crash. According to folks who were there, everything was widely scattered. These pics were taken from an altitude that would preclude directly viewing bodies or parts.
Pics 3 through 11 were of the crash with survivors. All were taken after the occupants were removed.
None of these pics are any more graphic than what is shown on TV news.
First, these and other pictures were released and published by the media through the MIO.
The intent of the pictures was to show a job well done AND to show what a crash might look like with some snow on top of it as well as out in the open. In addition, what a crash might look like after hitting the ground real hard!
CAP should use these in a scanner course for training and that is why the guy posted them to his web site.
Most crashes are removed after the incident and can no longer be used for training. Pictures are worth a thousand words, just try to find the one in the snow without the upclose shot!
Is there anyone to contact for permission to use these for training? I've got a scanner class coming up and would like to include these photos.

You're intent and the reality could be different. Not saying it is but always keep that inmind when you are dealing with public open sites where anyone has accesss to.

Using them for training is great. In fact, if I lived in an area with any real terrain I'd probably use the ones from altitude for MS/MO training. But put them in a slide show on a squadron computer, not on the internet.
The 4 in the middle are the ones I would take out. We're CAP, not the 6 o'clock news.
