Breakdown: Traveling Dangerously In America (Parts 1-4 of a 20-part joint-investigation series)
The Center For Public Integrity & News21 National
Part 1: A Faulty Safety System: Travel Safety Recommendations Ignored For Years ("Over the past 43 years, the National Transportation Safety Board has issued more than 13,000 recommendations to make travel safer. These recommendations are often delayed or ignored as accidents continue to happen and people continue to die.")
Part 2: The Bush Years: Safety Board Less Aggressive In Last Decade ("The NTSB issued far fewer recommendations during the administration of George W. Bush than at any other time in its history, a News21 analysis shows.")
Part 3: The Most Wanted List ("The NTSB’s “Most Wanted” list is the main way it pushes regulatory agencies, states and industries to adopt safety measures. Most of the time, it works.")
Part 4: Deathly Tired: Agencies, Industry Slow To Recognize Fatigue Problems ("Pilots and drivers who are too tired to do their jobs frequently commit errors that contribute to accidents. The NTSB has issued 320 fatigue-related recommendations since 1967. More than half have never been implemented.")
