To Christina Fuller  , AZ
 
I have received your critical e mail in which you describe me as "...one of the most heartless people known to this earth and need serious mental help"...
 
I feel very sorry for families and friends
associated with this tragedy, but as we try to forget and not be reminded of this
horrible event, I hope we can all learn something from this accident, and go forth with life, having learned something
for ourselves, our families and our friends.
 
I understand your sensitivity to seeing
images and video of the accident seen,
and on your behalf, I am removing the video of the accident scene from You Tube.
 
I would like to point out that no images or video of Kara had been posted, and one
segment viewing Christopher being attending to by our excellent paramedics, did not show his face.
 
Thank you for expressing your concern to me, and I hope that your family and friends, can find ways to suppress their anger and alleviate the depression which accompanies these kind of sudden family deaths.  This too shall pass.
 
Thank you for writing,
Sincerely, Hank Springer

You need help !!!
You posted http://www.youtube.com/captnemo7200 roll over acct New Smyrna Beach Fl. This involed my brother Christopher and his girlfriend Kara. You have no idea what my family has been through in the past few mths. Posting this is a total disgrace to all parties involved. Seems to me that you are one of the most heartless people known to this earth and need serious mental help. If all you have to do with your time is post things of this nature mabe you should look into another hobbie. I would stongly suggest you delete this video and all others involving this matter from youtube.

Hank, who the hell does she think she is? She has a dry sense of humor. I think & thank you for all the work you do to keep people up to date. I think she needs help. I hope you have no idea to remove anything you put on the tube. Thank you.

Al Gigliotti

poi HANK REPLIES.

I removed it from you tube, but I did not remove the story and digital still images from Port Orange Images.
 
She apparently does not know that I have dedicated my life to prevent such horrible accidents and to help those who
are involved in them.  I see no good in not showing people for educational purposes the outcome of bad driving or not
putting your seat belt on. 
 
In such incidents as this one involving a 20 yr. old with a girl friend of 15, there might be resentment between families, and not showing the scene and devastation where
the 20 year old was driving, might be a way of defending the driver.  We all make mistakes, especially in our youth.
I still make mistakes, and I can have an accident, but
really hope that I will have my seat belt on, and am not involved in careless driving or speeding.  But, it happens.
It is hard to get over when it does happen.  I know full well,
of the after effects to families when incident like these happen.  But, I am not the bad guy.  I bring the message,
and have enforced the message, 'WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, AND REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE IN A POSSIBLE DEADLY MACHINE".  Be careful, and when
you or love ones do have an accident, learn.  It does not help to lash out with those who did not cause the accident or had anything to do with.  I have been threatened with suits many times at the scenes of events when taking pictures.  One mother of a son who went down on his motorcycle grabbed my camera and tried to rip it from me.
Probably, she should have gotten mad at her son, for causing his own accident and driving without a helmet.
But anger is not rational.
Don't get me mad!  Lol - but there is more to life than just an accident scene or accident.  There is coming to grips
with bad things that happens and what to do about them.
Try to prevent them from happening in the future.  Every time you get in your car, think of Kara, and buckle up.

From Cathy McNa, Port Orange, Fl.

Hank, I understand her objections but, my GOD!!!!  An accident is public record and no faces were shown so what is the big deal?  I feel badly for the family and news is news for everyone to view what can happen in a vehicle roll over with or without a seatbelt.  Sometimes people need the realization of the facts.  I found nothing offensive in your video and I am sure that what we see on the 5pm news is even worse.

----------------------------------------

 

PARTS OF THAT VIDEO WAS SHOWN ON CHANNEL 9, WFTV, NEWS, THAT EVENING.

TO KEEP THE FACTS STRAIGHT, THERE IS NO LAW WHICH PROHIBITS ME FROM SHOWING FACES OF INDIVIDUALS WHEN SUCH IMAGES WERE TAKEN ON A PUBLIC STREET.  THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA THAT THE FACES OF INJURED PEOPLE MIGHT BE SHOWN ON MY WEB SITE.  TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR PREFERENCES, I HAVE HAD A POLICY OF COVERING OVER SUCH FACES WHEN I CAN.  BUT I AM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE YIELDING TO THEIR WISHES.  NEXT THING I KNOW I WILL BE HEARING FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT ME TO SHOW THE FACES OF ARRESTED PEOPLE. 

TO OBLIGE THE SISTER WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE VIDEO I HAVE DELETED IT FROM YOU TUBE.

YOU CAN SEE DIGITAL STILL IMAGES AND THE STORY ON POI'S Accidents in New Smyrna Beach Fl  WEB PAGE.  --- hANK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hank, I am in agreement with Cathy McNa. Don't stop what you're doing. What does she say when the Police are looking for help w/ Lic. # types of Vehicles. She needs some education, street education you know what I mean. If she had her Purse snatched she would be screaming for help, maybe then she can get to realize what you are doing. I like your type of reporting because it reminds me of the old saying," if you want to kill time try working it to death." keep up the good job Sir. By the way another friend knowing I worked a short time with the power company before going to Ma Bell sent me pictures of a jerk climbing a high line at a transformer type situation, and was about to steel the copper wire for which he was electrocuted and pictures were awful but there is a message there . Stay the hell away from any hanging wire that you don't know what you are doing.
