Did a little investigating, and what follows is from YouTube's so-called "Community Guidelines" which are intended to...well, you read it:

Excerpts follow:
DON'T CROSS THE LINE!
Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:....
YouTube is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies or similar things intended to shock or disgust.
SHOCKING AND DISGUSTING
The world is a dangerous place. Sometimes people do get hurt and it’s inevitable that these events may be documented on YouTube. However, it’s not okay to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a video is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be balanced with additional context and information. For instance, including a clip from a slaughter house in a video on factory farming may be appropriate. However, stringing together unrelated and gruesome clips of animals being slaughtered in a video may be considered gratuitous if its purpose is to shock rather than illustrate.
WE ENFORCE THESE GUIDELINES
Okay, this one is more about us than you. YouTube staff review flagged videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate our Community Guidelines. When they do, we remove them. Sometimes a video doesn’t violate our Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for everyone. These videos may be age-restricted. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination. If your account is terminated, you won’t be allowed to create any new accounts. For more information about how the Community Guidelines are enforced and the consequences of violating them, please visit the Help Center.

My suggestion to everyone is to right-click download the video with RealPlayer if you can (or some other type grabbit program), and forward to Emil to post on the site. I'm not the only one tired of these videos disappearing. Any other suggestions, Emil?
Cheers,
Mary~
