According to AIN Alerts on October 21, “Transportation fatalities in the U.S. decreased by 4 percent last year, according to preliminary figures released Thursday by the NTSB. Aviation deaths dropped substantially, from 784 to 545 year-over-year. Nearly 90 percent, or 491, of aviation fatalities occurred in general aviation accidents, but they still represented a significant decrease from the 703 GA accident deaths in 2006. “

Are you rejoicing because aviation deaths dropped nearly 31%, or are you fixated on the 545 deaths that occurred? 

It’s not what you said, it’s what we think we read.
