Breakdown: Traveling Dangerously In America (Parts 9-12 of a multi-part joint-investigation series)
The Center For Public Integrity & News21 National
Part 9: Reincarnated Carrier: Illegal Bus Company Re-Opens Under New Names ("One bus company managed to stay on the road despite repeated violations and fines. It was easy: The owner just kept registering his company under new names.")
Part 10: Crashes Without Cause: "Black Boxes" Could Solve Crash Mysteries ("For more than a decade, the NTSB has unsuccessfully pushed regulators to mandate black boxes in motor vehicles. Congress recently took up the issue as part of a sweeping auto reform bill.")
Part 11: Delayed Technology: Railroads Put Off Fixes To Prevent Train Collisions ("Graniteville, S.C., may never recover from a train wreck that killed nine and shut down the main factory. The accident could have been prevented with technology the NTSB recommended decades before.")
Part 12: No One's In Charge: Local Transit Systems Plagued By Accidents, Weak Oversight ("No single government authority watches over the safety of passengers on light rail and subways, resulting in a patchwork of train systems as the number of accidents grow.")
