Mr.Schneider;


No one on this list suggested anything like this did they.  You have a tendency to rewrite information to suit your whims don't you  (as I have often mentioned, reading through the archives is very revealing.)  This specific item wasn't an issue until now was it;  the discussion centered around the definition of  'disaster.'  'Safety,'  the prime concern of transit agencies, is often on one of those double sided coins with an extremely thin edge in the middle;  'apathy'  is quite often on the other side of that coin.  A  'problem'  is often recognized and ignored until a disaster happens, ignored because of $$$.  Then it is too late isn't it.
