So you're saying that the infamous "WIPP cow incident" a few years back should actually be called the "WIPP cow accident", since it involved a death, albeit a bovine one? <grin> I seem to remember also that there was sufficient damage to the tractor that it had to be towed ... but I've never heard that event referred to as an "accident".


I'm afraid it was an accident (because of the towing, not the cow).
