Ways We Die
===========

"Wanna see something really scary?"
   - Dan Aykroyd, "Twilight Zone: The Movie"

Halloween, at a base level, allows us to laugh at death.  To flaunt
our mortality in the context of ghast; to revel in The End, prefer-
ably The *Grisly* End.  Or, as the Kiss lyrics so succinctly sums
up, "I gotta laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die."  Presumably, the
yearly ritual of morbid celebration serves as a mental pressure
value, much as gallows humor so well de-stresses firefighters and
police officers, among others.  (Disclaimer, I'm not a psychologist
nor do I play one on TV.)  But what seasonal scare can *possibly*
top the televised tortures of September 11 and the reported deaths
by fire, fall, crushing, et al?  If we're "stun numb" this year,
maybe it's 'cause the events in New York and Washington (for start-
ers) combined so many of our collective fears:  jumbo jets crash-
ing, tall buildings collapsing, hijackings, suicide attacks, com-
pression, and incineration.  Really, what garden-variety trick,
treat, or ghost story stands a *chance* against that?  'Cept, per-
haps (and as a newspaper cartoon noted), someone dressed as a TV
set showing "BREAKING NEWS?"

Well, I'll take a shot at scaring you.

From http://www.crashdatabase.com, Air Safety Online's searchable
database of 1,500 commercial airline accident records from 1970
forward, here are fifty ways to die.  With master incident list at
bottom.   Boo.

    off. Adhesive tape on static ports, placed there during
    maintenance and cleaning, caused malfunction of cockpit
    indicators. Crew unable to correctly determine altitude
    and airspeed. With no ground reference over water and
    night flying conditions, crashed into ocean. 70 of 70
    killed (Pasamayo, Peru, 10/2/96) 10

  o Douglas DC-9-32 - Crashed into remote section of Ever-
    glades shortly after takeoff, after crew reported fire and
    smoke. Inflight fire caused by activation of one or more
    oxygen generators in cargo hold. Loss of aircraft resulted

    dren to manipulate controls. Eleven year-old daughter and
    sixteen year-old son took turns. While boy was flying, he
    inadvertently disengaged autopilot aileron control. Air-
    craft began bank of 90 degrees, causing nose to drop
    sharply. Copilot pulled on yoke to obtain level flight but
    plane stalled. He could not properly control aircraft as
    seat was pulled all the way back. After several stalls and
    rapid pull-ups, plane started spiral descent. Copilot ini-

    gency landing at Southampton. Captain remained halfway out

Side Note
=========

Watched MANHATTAN over the weekend, Woody Allen's splendid, sumptu-
ously shot (in beautiful black and white by Gordon Willis) romantic
comedy slash Gotham love letter.  Had this thought:  let's all send
a copy of the 1979 movie to a certain Sesame Street fan in the Mid-
dle East.  Or at the very least, signed copies of George Gershwin's
"Rhapsody in Blue."  Just write "With our compliments, America."
