Cool No US Commercial Aviation Fatalities in 2002

WASHINGTON (AP) -- No one died aboard a passenger or cargo airliner in the United States in 2002, the third time in a decade that a year went by without a fatality on a commercial plane.

Agency spokesman Greg Martin said there were more than 13 million takeoffs and landings last year without a single death.
