As a follow up to my post of December 9, 2011 about U.S. Highway fatalities sinking to an all-time low, the NTSB has released transportation fatalities statistics for all modes it covers (Highway, Rail, Marine, Aviation, and Pipeline).
The statistics are attached here as a table and a chart.
Total marine fatalities were down about 10% from 2009, with drops in casualties in recreational boating and commercial fishing.
Aviation deaths in 2010, none of which were from commercial accidents, fell by 13% from 2009.
Pipeline and Rail fatalities both saw increases. Total deaths from Rail increased to 813 in 2010 from 742 in 2009, an increase of over 9%. Transit fatalities are included in that total of 813, and from that mode 253 deaths were from Light, heavy and commuter rail.
