Chaz,

>>Ever wonder why race car drivers can walk away from 200 mph collisions and you die when the plane tunnels in at 150? There isn't much quality, is there?

If I remember right, it is consumer choice that results in most injuries. Since most airline accidents occur when the plane is moving forward why aren't the passengers seated facing the rear of the plane? I asked about this once and the response was that passengers do not like to face towards the rear of the plane. Safety is not as important as comfort sometimes. Just imagine trying to get a five-point harness on some of the people you've flown with. My guess is that more people die during a Windows reinstall than on American airliners (not joking either).

Cheers,

Norm
