Uncle Sam's looking for you.

Somebody has noticed that their video is missing.
Dover Crash Video
There have been multiple emails going around containing the video animation of the C-5 crash at Dover. The animation is being sent as an attachment with the filename(s) of “animationfrom1323.wmv”, “animationfrom1323.wm”, “Dovercrash.wmv”, and possible other names or variants. This file is classified as Privileged. It is not for the general public nor is it intended to be openly available to all members of the DoD. Although the “official use only” identification label was edited from the beginning of this video, it is still a protected source and needs to be treated as such.
The sole purpose of this video is for mishap prevention purposes. It contains an interpretation gathered from Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) data. Unauthorized possession of this video is a violation of military and federal laws. One must heed the last few frames of this video which contains the following statement:
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
THIS CONTAINS PRIVILEGED, LIMITED-USE SAFETY INFORMATION. UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE CAN SUBJECT YOU TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, CIVIL LIABILITY, OR OTHER ADVERSE ACTIONS. SEE AFI 91-204 FOR RESTRICTIONS.
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Unauthorized recipients will delete it and advise the sender to do the same as well as notify all those who were sent the file.Although DFDR and CVR data is releasable, animation created from the derived data is not. Federal ruling has upheld that CVR transcripts may be released; however, actual voice transmissions are not.
Safety Privilege is a critical tool for mishap prevention. It gives a flight safety investigation board (SIB) the ability to expeditiously conclude the findings, causes, and make recommendations for a mishap by granting limited immunity to those involved, thereby avoiding lengthy bureaucracy. This immunity only applies to the SIB’s investigation and their report because their sole purpose is mishap prevention. Without the ability of safety privilege, SIBs may never find the root causes to certain mishaps.
When safety privilege items are compromised, the entire investigation system breaks down and the ability to continue to grant such a right in future flight mishap investigations is jeopardized. It is incumbent for all, aviators or not, to protect this and all privileged material. If safety privilege is not properly and diligently protected, it may not be available in the future.
