a. Fatal bus crash in Kentucky (They left out the actual cause of the accident, which was a head-on collision from a drunk driver driving in the wrong lane which then caused the fuel supply of the bus to ignite.  This is still the deadliest incident involving drunk driving in U.S. History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carroll...)
