NASA hides air-safety study to protect airline profits
In one of the most disturbing examples of government secrecy for the wrong reasons, NASA refused to release an $8.5 million study of 24,000 commercial pilots that allegedly suggests that we are in far more danger on airplanes than previously known. The agency told The Associated Press, which received a leak about the study, that it would not release the study because the findings might damage the public's confidence in the airline industry and hurt airline profits. Will this coverup damage the public's confidence in NASA and government overall? See story.
