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.
The Federal Aviation Administration credited new air traffic control technology, better training and vigilance by the aviation industry.
Agency spokesman Greg Martin said there were more than 13 million takeoffs and landings last year without a single death.
