If that's the stance you take, then what should be done? Nothing depicting death? So we should just pretend it never happened? There is nothing on there that I think anyone would/should take offense at. Obviously, everyone's opinions differ, and my comments about "moving on" might be harsher than necessary, but come on? The original poster said that other crashes are listed but no pictures. Take a look at 1980, a military helicopter and cargo plane crash, killing 8. Or what about the Columbine HS students in Littleton, CO? If anything, I find the logic in posting pictures of those two killers more questionable than wreckage of an accident. But I wasn't taken aback when I saw it. I mean, it's history. Nobody set out with the intention of offending anybody, I'm sure.
Otherwise, I don't understand why an airline whose business is providing safe air travel would want to use an aircraft accident as a timeline reference. Couldn't they use something else?
However, it is a nice website.

It's not offensive, just not appropriate.

Like the way they handle their own accident in 1991...no picture, and the following caption -
"On February 1, a fatal incident occurs as a controller tells a USAir 737 to land on a runway occupied by a Metro III. All 10 of our passengers and both crewmembers are lost. 22 of the 89 passengers and crew on the USAir aircraft are lost as well."

Agreed. A very curious choice to include an fatally tragic accident involving a regional partner flying the same aircraft. And with a picture, as well.
