    Since the reporting requirements were introduced, the vast majority of the 807 automation-related crashes have involved Tesla, the data show. Tesla — which has experimented more aggressively with automation than other automakers — also is linked to almost all of the deaths.

    Just got back from 2 weeks in Italy, which kicked ass. We used the high speed trains for 3 different trips. I guess it's a step down from my experience with the Shinkansen in Japan in that the train was actually like 10 minutes late one time, but it's as comfortable a ride and extremely easy to buy tickets from an app and find your platform at the stations. We need cool-ass trains in this country, man. I really think it's a radicalizing experience to use one of these systems once. I think so many people who scoff at the idea of investing in trains really have no concept of what riding a modern train is actually like because the entire stock of passenger train cars in the US is from like 1966.

    “Where am I going?” she could be heard asking, as she slowly settled into the wheelchair. Her hand was visibly trembling as she took her seat.

    “I’ve got something in my eye,” she said, as her eye appeared bloodshot.

    "I never imagined in 100 years I would be thrust into the position of being the first first responder on the site to take care of people," he shared. "The first girl I walked up to was crouched down covering her head in the bushes, so I felt for a pulse, pulled her head to the side and she had no face."

     

    Spainhouer said he also found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed.

     

    "When I rolled the mother over, he came out. I asked him if he was OK and he said, 'My mom is hurt, my mom is hurt.' So rather than traumatize him, I pulled him around the corner sat him down and he was covered from head to toe...like somebody poured blood on him."

    Man who witnessed Allen outlet mall shooting describes carnage: 'It's just unfathomable'

    WWW.CBSNEWS.COM
    Steven Spainhouer said he found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed.


    I've noticed recently it seems like they're putting more of these descriptions in news stories about this stuff, and I've seen more than one commentary site publish articles titled something like "What an AR-15 round does inside the body." I think people in journalism are as sick of this shit as anyone else, but who knows if that can actually affect change when one entire political party plus most of the Supreme Court still can't be bothered to give a shit.
