Hi Fred, I have a few questions:
Re: Fortune 500 Resignations:
Given the financial industry melt-down, is it not without reason to suggest that many fortune 500 companies would have a changing of the guard after discovering that their executives exposed their company to unnecessary risk due to poor money management?
Even if these executives were not let go due to poor mgmt, is it not within reason that there are many other possible reasons for which they would have resigned? (The corporation I work for is a Fortune 1000 firm, and we had a changing of the guard in that year as well. But it was for entirely legitimate reasons.)
Are you certain that this kind of turnover, or something close to it, has never happened in history? If so, do you have data to support this conclusion?
Re: Plane crashes...
When a plane crashes, especially into the ground (as we saw on 9/11 in Pennsylvania), the force of impact combined with the great amount of fuel usually results in no bodies being recovered.
Is the practice of having gov't officials not on the same plane when they fly an international standard, or is just practiced in the US? Do you know for a fact that Poland always did that except in this instance?
Re: Police Chiefs:
Have you looked into any of the individual cases to see if there are legitimate reasons for their resignations?
Given the sheer number of police chiefs in this country, is it not possible that they would be resigning for legitimate reasons? I mean, #21 on your list is Navarre, Ohio. That village has 1440 people in their population. #53 is Watford City, North Dakota—population 1435. #18 is Britt, Iowa—population 2052. Sure, there are cities like Miami and LA, but those are in the minority. Furthermore, I am skeptical that the chiefs of police from most of these cities would be involved in anything so monumental.
But perhaps I'm overlooking something?
