Prior to the start of the men's luge competition tonight, Costas introduced a package on the aftermath of the crash, which included some of the information already covered here (modifications to turns, lowering of the starthouses, etc.). Costas prefaced his introduction to the package by stating that NBC would not run the accident video during the package, nor would they air it again for the duration of the games.
