Fascinating Interactive NY Times Article on Why The Rise of Giant Trucks and SUVs Kill So Many Pedestrians

Etienne Note: Even a blind pig can find a truffle. Very interesting interactive article explaining why and how more pedestrians are killed by larger vehicles on the road. Good lessons for pedestrians. The Times did not cover how many more passengers might have been saved by being in larger, presumably safer vehicles during vehicle-on-vehicle crashes.
