Currently I'm consumed with images of the Boeing 777 wreckage at SFO. If it's true that only 2 people died in this tragedy then it's a testament to engineering, constant refinement, and crew training.

The construction of our coaches has been likened to that of aircraft. Perhaps that's why so many remain and may be a factor in our love of these old girls. Great engineering stopped at construction. It's up to us to constantly maintain and improve the rigs if we are to enjoy them for many years.

Still I need to learn from this. The recent engine fire shows that things happen. Jim B has an important safety upgrade that must now be first on my list. It could save my family. Next I need to adjust my driving style so that I can stop safely with whatever brakes I have.

Our best wishes to all those who are effected by this.
