U.S. airlines fly 2 years without fatality

For the first time since jet airliners took to the sky, U.S. carriers have gone two years without a single passenger fatality. A single year without fatalities has occurred only four times since 1958, an analysis by the Air Transport Association found. Thus, the two-year streak in 2007 and 2008 is all the more remarkable, considering that airlines ferried more than a billion passengers. "That stellar record isn't something that came about by accident," David Castelveter, spokesman for the ATA industry group, told CNN. The industry, he said, "has been working hard for years, looking at past accidents so as not to have similar things happen in the future."
