"This morning The New York Times published an interactive graphic that thoroughly documents Kumaritashvili's ill-fated final ride. In the span of eight frames the viewer is provided a labeled map of the track, a 3D model of the terrain that rotates to zoom in on 'turn 16', and then a sequence of images that track the trajectory of his body as it is thrown from the sled. Despite the fact that the final moments of Kumaritashvili's life are rendered as if they were an annotated ragdoll physics demo, the event is communicated with the dispassionate clarity we'd expect from The Times. The final frame is an unadorned photograph taken at approximately the moment Kumaritashvili is fatally injured."
