Bridge demolition has long been known to mobilize large amounts of stream sediment in the immediate area of the structure. An ecological assessment in terms of stream macroinvertebrate samples and suspended solids measurements was made shortly before, shortly after and eight months after a demolition of a bridge deck. No environmental damage was in

The medical records of airmen involved in midair collisions from 1970 through 1973 were reviewed and compared with two other groups of pilots: (1) pilots involved in other types of accidents and (2) pilots without any accident records. There is nothing in the results to indicate that the pilots with visual corrections are a greater risk.
