You're doing the same thing that MAYBE I did; you're cherry-picking your transportation statistics. There were no commerical air fatalities? That's great, and I'm glad. But what's with the unprecedented private plane crashes?

I'm not blaming Pete for automobile crashes. Those are out of his control. But as for trains, sea vessels, and private planes, we're being slaughtered and Pete's not doing jack about it.

Have you not heard about all the derailments? There was one in Ohio that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials. Then another one in Arizona that just so happens to have been carrying hazardous materials.
