The list doesn't mention one single crash that happened outside of
North America. Is that a reflex of the worldview of American media? I
would have thought that the Tenerife disaster made an impact.



This is from "Popular Mechanics" - the magazine that, every few years,
predicts that Moller's "sky car" is going to revolutionize air travel.

Every couple years they break the news about the new revolutionary
automobile engine that is going to replace the conventional internal
combustion engine.

etc. etc. etc.

What do you expect? This time they would get something right? Eh?
