Most Dangerous U.S. Holidays
Would you believe, Thanksgiving is a dangerous holiday? I thought that New Years eve would be worse or the 4th of July, but it turns out that Thanksgiving is the most dangerous holiday we have... go figure. This is according to Forbes. "But New Year’s Day isn’t the deadliest of the year. That title belongs to Thanksgiving. Last year, 502 people were k**led on the road that day. On a typical day, 102 people die in traffic accidents. Robert Sinclair, a spokesman for AAA, says the combined factors of more than 50% more drivers on the road and higher-than-usual alcohol consumption contribute to its danger."
