dear list,
believe it or not - the NTSB is citing the following accident to make
restraints mandatory
On July 16, 2003, an 86-year-old man, driving a Buick
LeSabre, struck a stopped car, continued through an
intersection and drove through a Santa Monica, California
farmers' market striking pedestrians and vendors displays.
As a result of the accident, there were 10 fatalities and 63
injuries. Neither the driver of the Buick or the stopped
car were injured. Media Contact: Keith Holloway, (202)
314-6100.
The Board recommended in 1995 that the FAA require "that all
occupants [of airliners] be restrained during takeoff,
landing, and turbulent conditions, and that all infants and
small children be restrained in a manner appropriate to
their size." (Recommendation A-95-51) This item is on the
NTSB's Most Wanted List of Safety Improvements. The Board
will discuss whether to reclassify the FAA's actions in
response to this recommendation (it is currently classified
"Open Acceptable Action") and whether to retain the issue on
its Most Wanted List. Media Contact: Ted Lopatkiewicz,
