The recent train crash in the State of Washington killed and wounded people. One witness said it was like a war zone as people were crushed by flying steel, or slammed through the window glass or tossed into the seats in front of theirs. A sad and painful situation to witness on the news.
So, will accidents like this happen again? Of course they will and there will be more innocents killed and/or wounded. Bui there is a simple, common sense, way to cut the casualty numbers dramatically. I'll bet you don't have a clue. Let me educate you and management with an idea or two.
First, take school buses for example. Why in hell don't they all have mandatory SEAT BELTS! Because parents have their heads in the sand or someone's behind. I watch the huge school buses filled with several hundred students, all chatting, throwing paper wads or making faces out the windows. They are totally unaware that an 18 wheeler could end their lives forever.
Second, passenger trains. Where are the seatbelts? The AMTRAK accidents have killed or maimed thousands over the years. All commuter and long distance trains should be mandated by the Department of Transportation to install seatbelts or face heavy fines. Ditto for schoolbuses!
Third, high rise buildings must provide all inhabitants with CANOPY PARACHUTES who work above the 30th floor. They will also have a window in each office that can be swung outward, or smashed open with a chair. The box of CANOPY PARACHUTES nearby will save lives. Think 9/11 in New York City. All those people died with no opportunity to live. A sad commentary indeed.
That's it for today.
