Taken from Gold's post below (http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=581215&nmt=List%20of%20FIA%20%22incidents%22).

I thought we could collectively edit this and provide links to videos, so we get some kind of semi-impartial record of the FIAs impartiality (or lack of). Please add incidents and videos/web links as necessary.
