Try Firefox. Very stable at most all web sites.
Safari seems to have some issues related to handling cookies, from what I’ve found from testing sites. No problems with IE and Firefox, but cookies would not be written out properly with Safari. Found some JavaScript that was at fault and when we modified the code, we got it to work with Safari.
But cookie handling is one area with Safari than can be touchy.
I can go on hotair.com with Safari and works just fine. I’m on a Mac as well.
Every time I load hotair.com, Safari loads 3/4 of the way, then crashes.
I loaded it just fine. I did the main page. Is there another page that is crashing for you or is it the main page?
You might also try creating a new account, and then try out Safari to Hot Air and see what happens on the newly created account. You can delete the account after you're finished with it, if you want.
You don't include the information as to what computer, what operating system (and version) and so on... so it might be difficult for someone to help.
Have you tried the Apple Forums? They've got sections for different software there.
My Mac PPC on OSX10.5 crashes on safari when i attempt to load Hot air.com. I use Comino which works fine for me. Safari is a highwaty for hackers any way.

Seriously, though, in order for embedded vid’s to show up on Hot Air, I have to use IE. With Firefox, I just get blank space where the vid should be.
Install “Snow Leopard”.
I’m using an iBook G4 with the latest version of Safari (4.0.3), and OS 10.4.11 installed, and have no problems loading Hotair.com.
Works for me on Snow Leopard and Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9)... how about the rest of you? Can anyone duplicate AIDS problem?
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
MacBook Pro here. No problems with hotair.com. Have you installed software updates from Software Update? Latest version of Safari?
Works fine here. Using Safari 4.0.3, which was probably installed when I installed Snow Leopard Friday. (Which rocks, btw.) If you haven’t run Software Update recently, maybe you should.
Gotta say, I generally use Firefox. Prefer its user interface, is all.

You might give a look in the Console.app to see if an error log has been written out. Console.app is located in in the Applications/Utilities folder.
Following a crash, look at messages in the “All messages” section of LOG DATABASE QUERIES. You might also check the LOG FILES/Library/Logs/CrashReporter and LOG FILES/Library/Logs/HangReporter directories using Console.app for any Safari related log messages.
Once you find a suspect message, googling the error message will often lead you to sites providing hints what the problem may be.
I have Safari and Firefox and it is true that sometimes one works better than another for a particular site. Just have them both in your dock and use when appropriate.
Safari opens it just fine for me, I did an upgrade with Snow, no problems and I have 500 gig of apps on a system that hasn’t had a clean install since OS X 10.2
I don’t know Safari but most browsers utilize a cache for html and images. I have had crap in the cache for IE and even Firefox that would cause some pages to crash.
Before you do a lot of reinstalls I would try clearing the cache.
Some machine specs, as well as a confirmation of OS and Safari versions would be helpful.
Here is what I am on:
PowerMacintosh Dual 1.8Ghz G5
5GB Ram
OS X 10.5.8 (all the latest updates done)
Safari Version 4.0.3 (5531.9)
Hotair.com seems to load ok for me, though it does eventually get “Canceled opening the page” down at the bottom of the window (can’t figure out why).
But no crash.
