Additional Audio / Video Files
Nearly 700 MB of archived video and sound files. This CD includes backups of most of the audio and video clips that are linked to this website that are currently hosted on other websites. Includes footage at Columbine during and after the shootings, SWAT team videos, interviews with staff, the Presidental address, 911 calls, and much more. Also includes an archive of links to news articles past and present, and more. Due to their large size, if these multimedia files ever go offline, they most likely will not return to the web - some have already vanished. This archive lets you have access to those files, online or off.

* Medical & FBI reports + 100s of other official documents
* Games, music, and art influenced by the shootings

So why donate? It costs money to keep this website online. A site like this has bandwidth, much like a car has gasoline. Every time a photo or a sound file is accessed, more bandwidth is eaten up -- more fuel is burned, so to speak. This site receives over 2,000 different visitors every day: 2,000 places driven a day, which takes quite a bit of fuel (bandwidth). In order to fill it up again the site requires money, just like gas costs money to pump into a car.
There's only so much cash this working-class, low-income individual can scrape together to pay for the bandwidth this website needs. As long as the bandwidth lasts, this site will remain up and viewable. However, if the monthly bandwidth runs out, the site will be inaccessible till the next month. That's where you come in. Reader contributions cover the extra bandwidth my budget can't afford and also cover additional services (such as the site search feature) that would otherwise be impossible to have.
