Very true.
A few years ago a man was walking down Hay Street in the Central Business
District of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. He was hit by a
bullet from a .303 rifle. Noone knew where it came from but it obviously
was fired from some distance away and was a stray, not aimed at anyone.
Probably someone messing around with a rifle fired into the air and the
projectile travelled some distance before coming to earth again. The man
was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Accidents happen. If Governments
were more concerned about the most likely cause of accidental death,
through the carnage on our roads, and less on what just might happen with
a nuclear reactor or other devices that just MIGHT go wrong we might save
a few lives.
