brought forth from the murky depths:

Because train/car wrecks are so infrequent, the second
number is very low. But if you look at the fatality rate
for train crashes vs other car crashes, of course the train one
will be much much higher. I thought gunner was
implying that the first type of comparison was large - which
it isn't.


Hmmm, I'm feeling a little PSA here. I think that one went over
my head. (You lost me there.)


I also don't understand the difference in the stats
quoted, between "fatal accidents" and "accident deaths."


Ayup, whoever wrote that questionnaire/database didn't know
what they were doing. Dat's fer sher.
