Would be kind of humbling if places like Pakistan or NK have a fewer percentage of mishaps in the past / future than the US has had. OTOH, quite alarming if the reverse is the case.

I hope people get a chance to listen to the story. I was going to just put on a Wiki link, but on second thought removed that and put down the link to the much more interesting radio piece.

Wow! That was really interesting, and you're right, the radio piece was really good.
Thanks, elte!
