Seems that there's been another bus accident. This one was near Henderson, NC.

For those who followed the link, note the approximate time of the accident: 5:45 am.

Just before dawn.

Well known in the transportation industry that the two hours before dawn are the most dangerous time to be behind the wheel.

Even if you got a full eight hours of sleep until midnight, then went to work at 1 am, the two hours before dawn can still be deadly.

It's also showing up in other industries, those that have the so-called "graveyard" shifts - more accidents happen in this time period.

Weird, eh?

Maybe we should put Al Gore onto this terribly important problem, due to all the carnage produced by these global warming miscreants?

FWIW. . .
