You're better assisted by a remote operator The driver didn't die in any of the recent incidents, so they would still be in place to manage the situation. Interestingly, 7/7/05 isn't on the list, presumably because it wasn't an accident. That's exactly the kind of incident that is relevant in the context of this parent thread.
