thank you, mr. bill koch

The following letter, by Bill Koch of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was written to Time magazine in response to the publication's 11 January 2010 cover story about the failed Christmas Day bombing of Flight 253.

Sept. 11 was certainly a tragedy, yet more people are killed on our highways each month or two than were killed on that day. One deadly airplane crash is about a day's worth of highway fatalities. Maybe the press should cover highway safety more and rare incidents less. We'd all be safer.
