Cell phone kills 25 people
Cell phones killed 25 people in Los Angeles last month. In Florida, a cell phone killed a school girl.
A southern California Metrolink commuter train wreck left 25 dead including the engineer. It has been determined that the engineer was texting just before the crash. It has also been reported that the same engineer had sent or received 57 text messages during his last shift.
In Florida, a truck driver ran into a school bus killing one student. The truck driver was on the phone at the time of the accident.
Since second hand texting resulted in these 24 train deaths, will it take cell phone related deaths to equal alcohol or smoke related deaths before someone calls for a ban on cell phones?
Probably not since American cell phones are probably protected under the 1st Amendment right to free expression.
Is your cell phone safe? Has your cell phone killed anyone?

did you write this just for me?
i was driving down court street texting the other day and on the radio they said a law had just been passed it was illegal to text and drive. common sense should have told me that but since Rod has now signed a law i will be more responsible cuz i know i would want to end my own life it i ended someone elses because i couldnt wait to text someone back.
Thanks for making me think. i never realized how serious this is until you see how many lives could be affected.
wow... makes you think. I also heard (which I don't know how true this statement is) that the cell phone signals could cause brain tumors or something? Could just be an old/new wives tall...
