semantics

I'm not sure why people persist in labeling this event, and many others both fatal and non, as "incidents". They meet all practical and legal definitions as "accidents" don't they?

(Except perhaps when safety-related SOPs are disregarded, in which case I call them "accidents looking for a place to happen...")
