It's an AVI file and should be downloaded so not sure why you are getting pages of stuff.
edit: When I click on the link on my other laptop it just starts to download, so I would check your settings because it should just download and open in Windows Media Player or whatever your default is.

Just watched it. Holy crap that is brutal. Extremely surprised CTV would even air that ... it's pretty clear that he was dead immediately.

No issues with the DL.
That seems odd that there would be large support columns just off the track. If there is one thing that can be taken from NASCAR...

I don't think the Treehouse network has news programming.

Get the tracks ready at COP, Luge and skeleton events might have to be held here.

Also on a side note.... absolutely brutal design to have all those steel posts set up right after a corner exit.

I wonder what they'll do ... that seems like an incredibly dangerous design flaw. I suppose there's a risk with any event at that speed, but it just seems wrong.

The video was definately not pretty but it wasn't gory(sp) or anything..
Totally stupid that those posts are not heavily padded...big time design flaw.

They showed that video on CBC wwhen I was eating my lunch with some coworkers. I'm pretty upset they didn't even give a warning that what they were about to show was graphic. I wish I hadn't seen it, and there's some people I work with who are pretty distraught over being shown that by CBC without warning.
All it said was there was a live breaking story of a luge accident, and than showed the run (no warning about what you were about to see).

Yeah, this is the part that really baffles me too. I get that a person doing 140km/h could fly a far distance through the air, but to put the poles like, 5 feet from the track?! Just doesn't make sense.

I've heard that they can build the walls up higher. I bet they weren't built up as much so that cameras could see them exit the most exciting corner in the sport, just turns out excitement equals death.
Not a great way to get the games under way for sure!

What a STUPID desgin.
I hope whoever okay'd having huge metal beams right beside a corner exit should be fired. They have programs that tell you how fast lugers would be going down at certain points and where they will have problems and they just figured that corner was a good option?
STUPID

Awful. Seems like it would be a pretty easy fix to put up a wall of padding between the tracks and posts though.
Kind of awkward and sad to hold a huge party tonight in the face of a tragedy that looks to be 100% fault of the organizers.
