Which is why multiple death traffic accidents seldom get a mention. An
event that occurs over 40,000 times a year is not news.

Multiple death traffic accidents seldom get mention?? There are ALWAYS
stories about fatal car accidents in every non-national paper I read. Of
course the NY Times won't report on a fatal car accident in Detroit, but
the Detroit press certainly will.

Fatal accidents (planes, cars, boats, skiing, hunting, snowmobiling,
bicycling, surfing, scuba diving, etc. etc. etc.) ARE news.

The fact that so many are discussing this stuff here verifies that fatal
crashes are news.
