I beg to differ. Most pilots read about accidents as events that happen
in extreme circumstances or in far away places. A recording adds a
sense of familiarity and brings it much closer to home. We learn more
about our own vulnerabilities by identifying with the pilot and the
circumstances. I see nothing wrong with an audio recording unless it
has circumstances inappropriate or disrespectful of the deceased (ie
expletive language etc..). I don't see it as media sensationalization.
It is the real ATC recording with no commentaries or commercials. I
doubt a nonpilot would be able to make much sense out of the
recordings.

sensationalizing airplane accidents when we have folks like John Smith doing
the same thing?
