Time to reset the counter
Jan. 15th, 2009 05:53 pmThis morning I was reading a blog post on the NYT website that mentioned how USA Today had, only recently, acknowledged that there hadn't been any airline-related fatalities or jet plane crashes in US airspace since 2001. That made it seven years without an incident, the longest streak on record.
Not sure if the one today counts or not, since it seems (from what I've read and what I hope) that everyone was rescued, but I found myself wondering if the FAA has a board with "Number of Days Without Incident" somewhere and if they are, in fact, setting it back to zero after this afternoon.
