WHO CAN TAKE THE PAIN LONGEST

#Trump appears ready to attack #Iran

Although the #UnitedStates & ally #Israel have a decisive #military advantage over Iranian forces, there are ways for Tehran to make any attack painful, officials said.

The Trump admin appears ready to launch an extended military assault on Iran, current & former US officials said, as the #Pentagon amasses an immense strike force in the #MiddleEast despite the risks of US combat #fatalities & ensnarement in an extended #war.

Looks like genuine mistake here - not even malice or incompetence but maybe made worse by #austerity (with delays in access to specialist #forensic staff)

#RTC with #fatalities and serious #injuries happened late at night on a weekend, some in #car weren't cooperating with #Police (possibly due to bad #driving) - two lads (one killed, one badly injured) were similar in appearance leading to mixup in #identification for a few days (#NHS don't store detailed #dental records of citizens, so some #forensic work would have had to wait until the start of the week when the dentists offices were open)

“In this paper, […] we show that fully autonomous vehicles would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their reliability in terms of fatalities and injuries.”

“[T]he possibility remains that it will not be possible to establish with certainty the safety of autonomous vehicles. Uncertainty will remain.”

"Big #trucks and #SUVs can be deadly. #Vehicles with extra-tall hoods and blunt front ends are more likely to cause #fatalities ... As Americans flocked to these dangerously tall and heavy vehicles, the #pedestrian death rate soared: between 2013 and 2022, pedestrian fatalities increased 57 percent"

"Few trends have been more damaging to the #environment and #PublicSafety than the dramatic growth in the SUV and truck market in recent decades."

PLEASE BOOST: AIRBAG RECALL (AGAIN)

The source is in French because the latest fatality was in France and they are sounding the alarm. So use the autotranslate where needed. The forms work just fine.

What is this all about? Well, in short it is about (possibly spontaneously) popping airbags with a chance of shrapnel in your face/arteries.

By contrast, people remember the #KentState #massacre of 1970 because it was a bloody failure by the #NationalGuard, during which 4 #students were #killed. Indeed, during this period, many #police & National Guard units responded to unrest with heavy-handed tactics that resulted in many #civilian injuries & #fatalities.
