Fatal air crash decline presents safety challenge
It’s been 43 months since the last deadly airline crash in the United States, the longest period without a fatal domestic accident since commercial aviation expanded after World War II. That sounds like unvarnished good news, but one consequence of having such a remarkable record is that it’s difficult to justify imposing costly new safety rules on the economically fragile industry.

It's called the news, Sparkie, but it is not about the news anymore. It's about agendas, 24/7 presence and ad sales. As Mel Brooks once said, Gentlemen, we have to protect our phoney baloney jobs! In order to support that agenda, on a slow news day they manufacture it. Unfortunately, on a busy day they send out the food editor to cover the little airplane crash. We should be happy with the current accident rate, which also extends to GA. Sadly I believe most of that is due to the lack of GA activity. There is hope, as the election is nigh. Vote early, vote often.
Are they complaining... they should be happy.
Ah Jeeze, Don't jinx it by saying these predictions!
