# "T-boned Airstream near Phoenix" and What It Teaches Asxer Owners About Staying the Course

On 2018-05-20, Daniel Comp published "T-boned Airstream near Phoenix" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 1, The Long Witness, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

## What the video shows

Their Airstream gets T-boned near Phoenix, and instead of hiding it Daniel asks Angelina to explain reframing on camera. His verdict on himself is blunt: "Personal awareness in your environment is so important, otherwise you do the most dumbass things like this." Filming setbacks is the evidence behind the long-suffering claim.

## The asxer angle

An asxer works the same way. It holds an owner's record in one place and answers from it, so a visitor can see what the owner taught then and what the owner teaches now. That continuity is what lets a stranger trust an owner they have never met.
