Sounds like a reporter trying to make a name for himself by skewing facts to meet his agenda.. Guess the 40,000 automotive deaths per year are insignificant as are the 225,000 deaths per year caused by medical malpractice. Flying is safer than seeing my doctor - go figure....

I'm sure USA Today has several corporate aircraft, all classified as GA. Perhaps they should start taking the bus instead??

There's an outstanding rebuttal on the Huffington Post website.
