Most safety things happen because someone dies and they then retrofit a solution to prevent that death the next time.

Ever wonder why airplanes are safe? Lots of deaths, each one of which resulted in a procedure to make that death not happen.

Personally, I don't think they should rest until subways are safer than airplanes! Or, at least, the marginal cost of preventing one death is, say, 5 million 2005 dollars.
