There is a link in the article about TGV accidents (although to be fair, it is a website about TGV, so maybe biased toward TGV safety, I dunno). It should be noted though that the French railway system is pretty good from a quality POV, if only because it is used so much (traveling within France by plane rarely makes sense time-wise, and buses are rarely used). The situation may not apply to the US, although it would certainly remain a safe transportation. But I think it is a bit disingenuous not to mention critical factors like low-cost flight companies, huge facilities in the vicinity of airports and big net of inter-states buses. None of that is really true in France (there are low cost flight companies, but they go to airports which make it a non-starter for business).
