damn, separately or one accident?
Separate accidents about 6 months apart.

Good grief. What happened? I've never thought of dam-building in Kansas as being especially dangerous.
I’m not sure of the circumstances of grandpa’s brother. I only know that he survived Omaha beach on D Day and then died two years later working on construction of the dam.  The other great uncle was my grandmothers brother and he fell from a crane.

That graphic came from this YouTube video (which also explains why there are no Interstates 50 and 60):

Glad more people know about CGP Grey, he's great. And while it's a great video I already knew a lot of that (nerd alert)

I remember from Written Communication for Engineers that showing 2 circles of different sizes is misleading and instead you should use all the same size circles and just have more of them because people don’t really understand pi I guess.

Anyway my point is I’m suspicious of this infographic

All I can think about is that Idaho is weird, and maybe I should move to Montana.
