Download or read book There Are No Accidents written by Jessie Singer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journalist recounts the surprising history of accidents and reveals how they’ve come to define all that’s wrong with America. We hear it all the time: “Sorry, it was just an accident.” And we’ve been deeply conditioned to just accept that explanation and move on. But as Jessie Singer argues convincingly: There are no such things as accidents. The vast majority of mishaps are not random but predictable and preventable. Singer uncovers just how the term “accident” itself protects those in power and leaves the most vulnerable in harm’s way, preventing investigations, pushing off debts, blaming the victims, diluting anger, and even sparking empathy for the perpetrators. As the rate of accidental death skyrockets in America, the poor and people of color end up bearing the brunt of the violence and blame, while the powerful use the excuse of the “accident” to avoid consequences for their actions. Born of the death of her best friend, and the killer who insisted it was an accident, this book is a moving investigation of the sort of tragedies that are all too common, and all too commonly ignored. In this revelatory book, Singer tracks accidental death in America from turn of the century factories and coal mines to today’s urban highways, rural hospitals, and Superfund sites. Drawing connections between traffic accidents, accidental opioid overdoses, and accidental oil spills, Singer proves that what we call accidents are hardly random. Rather, who lives and dies by an accident in America is defined by money and power. She also presents a variety of actions we can take as individuals and as a society to stem the tide of “accidents”—saving lives and holding the guilty to account.

Download or read book Special Investigation Report written by United States. National Transportation Safety Board and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board has investigated many accidents in which persons were killed following the release of hazardous materials from vehicles involved in the accidents. For example, 16 persons died following the rupture of a liquefied petroleum gas tank-semitrailer in a 1975 highway accident near Eagle Pass, Texas. In Youngstown, Florida, eight persons died following the puncture of a rail tank car carrying chlorine during an accident in 1978. In Houston, Texas, five persons were killed and 178 persons were injured by the release of anhydrous ammonia following the crash of a tank-semitrailer in a 1976 highway accident. The Safety Board has previously reported the causes of these accidents. However, the extent of the casualties in these and other accidents following the release of hazardous materials far exceeded the initial crash losses. Improving survivability in such accidents would contribute significantly to reduced hazardous materials transportation risks. Using the 1976 Houston accident as an example, the Safety Board investigated survival actions by the victims to determine what actions they took, why they were taken, and what effects these actions had on the victims' survival. These actions were then analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the U.S. Department of Transportation-mandated safeguards in reducing casualties in hazardous materials accidents.
