Austin Plane Crash – Domains Already Being Registered

Within minutes of the trageic Austin plane crash today; I was not surprised to see related domain names being registered by the minute….

The following domain names were ALL registered today:

AustinPlaneCrash.com

AustinPlaneCrash.org

AustinPlaneCrash.info

AustinTexasPlaneCrash.com

As domainer I think this is pathetic; unless the domains are being used to collect donations, broadcast useful information, etc.  Pretty pathetic when others try to monetize a tragedy!!

    I couldn’t agree more. What happened in Austin is a tragedy and it’s an insult to the industry when domainers bypass all forms of ethical business practices and attempt to profit from terrible events.

    Seeing stuff like this happen led me and my company to acquire and develop http://www.DonateDomains.com

    For all domainers that have registered domain names in midst of a tragedy – we encourage you to head to DonateDomains.com, read what we’re about, and make your direct navigation traffic count.
