Quote: NASA gathered the information under an $8.5 million safety project, through telephone interviews with roughly 24,000 commercial and general aviation pilots over nearly four years. Since ending the interviews at the beginning of 2005 and shutting down the project completely more than one year ago, the space agency has refused to divulge the results publicly.
Just last week, NASA ordered the contractor that conducted the survey to purge all related data from its computers.

And so now NASA is purging everything... to hide it from everyone. Bah! They're idiots.
It's not like it's not a known fact that flying is dangerous. For many reasons and on many, many levels. Between pilot errors, terrorists, faulty equipment, and many other areas where problems can crop up, I'm surprised we don't have any more killings then we do.
Flying does make it easier for someone to get around great distances but at this point I'm not sure I want to fly anymore.
EDIT: Here's the CNN article on it too: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TRAVEL/10/22/nasa.air.safety.ap/index.html
