INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study has been to conduct a comprehensive
data and literature search to determine the magnitude and likelihood
of man-originated 'high consequence flow probability accident events
from which quantitative risk assessments could be made.
Hopefully,
this paper will contribute to a.n understa.nding of the levels of risk in-
volved in activities affecting the public so that policy makers will be
better equipped to make assessments of what is an "acceptable level
of risk. "
The concept of risk implies the possibility of a quantified meas-
11,." h~qp"; on thp ron!Olpnnpnrp!Ol of. pxnn~I1"p. tn, ::Inn nT'nh~hilit; nf ::In
... .. .,. "
event, and thus serves to reduce the uncertainty surrounding the
activity.
No attempt has been made in this report to include a quan-
tification of, or commentary on, such risks themselves.
What has
been provided is the base data from which such an as sessment could
be made.
It should be noted that the data gathered for this report
permit such an analysis only on the macro level, based on aggregate
past accident experience.
It does not allow for analysis on the micro
level, of the risk involved in specific situations.
Such a micro analysis
might include data on the weather conditions at the scene of an acci-
dent, or of the toxicity and flammability of a substance (such as can
i>e found in analysis by Little, and Lippian).
1
-------
At the outset of the study it was apparent that we would have to
define an operational meaning of the term "man-originated, low pro-
bability, high consequence, accident." The following paragraphs
describe the definition we used for the purpose of preparing the
chronology of accidents.
We hasten to add that our definition repre-
sents an inherently arbitrary choice from among several alternative
definitions.
Perhaps the best definition of what may be c1as sHied as an
"accident" is provided by SuchInan, listing six parameter s by which
an event may be diagnosed; degree of expectedness, avoidability,
intention, warning, negligence and duration of occurrence.
By this
conception, the less an event could have been anticipated or avoided,
the less it was the result of deliberate action or negligence, and the
shorter the duration, the greater is the likelihood that the event will
be labelled as an accident.
While the above conception is useful in
understanding the general accident phenomenon, itdoes not aid in
. .
. .
distinguishing a high consequence acddent from fhe va.st.~joritY' of
. . . . .
accidents.
Consequently, it is necessary to arrive at a definition of
a catastrophic event in specific terms which can be readily a.bstracted
from accident reports.
From a preliminary examination of the data
gathered from a variety of sources it was determined that the presence
of one of the following criteria would be sifficient to define an unintended
2
-------
event as a high consequence, low probability accident:
A.
ten or more fatalities
B.
thirty or more injuries
c.
three million dollars or more in property damage.
The use of the above criteria isolates the truly infrequent,
catastrophic incidents, . while at the same time providing a rich set
of data from which meaningful analyses can be made.
It should be
remembered that natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes and
earthquakes, and one type of m~n-originated accident, nuclear reactor-
cycle accidents are not. part of the province of this study. *
In order to restrict the study to manageable proportions con-
.
sidering the time available, the project was limited to the accident
experience of the" United States in the period 1953-1973.
It is con-
ceivable that by considering only this time period we mis sed the
occurrence of an extremely rare type of accident which perhaps
hasn't occurred since 1953.
On the other hand it was thought that
safety and regulatory mechanisms before this period may have been
sufficiently different from the present situation that such information
would not be as useful to the policy maker today.
In the same vein the
study was restricted to the United States, as to do otherwise would
* Our search revealed no nuclear reactor cycle accident which
~ould have met our criteria.

-------
have required an extraordinary amount of time and because it was
thought that accidents occurring in the United States, or by United
Sta.tes organizations outside its borders (such as U. S. military or
commercial aircraft crashes abroad) would be most relevant to
gove rnment agencie s.
A review of the literature indicates that there apparently never
has been an attempt to compile a complete listing of high consequence
accidents.
Therefore, one task of this study has been to compile a
chronology of such incidents.
It may be found in Chapter Ill.
Specific attention was paid to distinguishing between those.
accidents which involved risk only to voluntary participants, by whom
the risk may be said to be accepted, and those which resulted in con-
sequences to "involuntary" victims, on whom the risk may be said
to be imposed.
As defined by a special National Transportation
Safety Board study, "voluntary risk-taking is predominantly economi-
cally oriented while involuntary risk taking often involves unawareness
of the risk and non-involvement in the decision proce s s.
Involuntar y
risk takers. .. rely on their political institutions to act on their
belie! in establishing risk levels.
Problems inherent in applying this
concept will be discussed in the following section.
We have given particular attention to incidents involving hazardous
materials becaus.e of the potential for both high consequence and
4
-------
involuntary risk, such as in the event of explosion of railroad tank
cars,
chemical plants or trucks carrying dynamite.
To make a risk assessment it is necessary to have at one's
disposal a measure of exposure to that accidental possibility.
The
exposures provided in this report are not measures of an individual's
exposure to such accidents, such as the total number of hours one is
at risk, as is used by Starr.
They are measures of the miles or hours
which planes, for example, travel, or the number of ton-miles commod-
ities are carried, or the total number of establishments, as with
chemical plants and hotels.
We know, for example, how many ton-
miles petroleum is carried by water in a particular year, but not how
many people or the number of hours which residents along the routes
of the tankers are exposed to the risk of explosion.
Further comn"lents
on interpretation of the exposure data are given in Chapter li, and the
data are presented in Chapter IV.
Finally, for each chapter a list of references is provided for
those sources which were directly quoted in that section.
The paper
concludes with a final bibliography including a complete list of all
contacts made during our search and a list of all articles of related
interest.

PROBLEMS OF DATA INTERPRETATION
Those who would use this report should be aware of the limita-
tions inherent in the data it provides.
In this section we have attempte~
to summarize the major difficulties in interpreting and using the data
provided in subsequent sections.
A.
Voluntary and Involuntary Risk Classiiication
Classifying each accident within the chronology-- as involving
voluntary or involuntary risk -,;, was problematic.
Accidents whose
description specifically noted casualties to bystanders or other victims,
who could not reasonablv b~ exp'?cted to have anticipated ~he pes sibill~y
of such an event, were clas sified as having an involuntary risk factor;
in the absence of such specific mention, accidents were classified as
involving only voluntary risk.
Undoubtedly, this type of arbitrary
classification scheme, and its apparent lack of specificity, poses
so"me very real problems which should be recognized before attempting
to \lse these figures in any specific context.
An example of" the weaknesses in this scheme can be found in the
clas sification of accidents involving oil refineries and chemical plants.
In most cases, available information was very sketchy -- sketchy in
the sense that no clear indication was given regarding what segment,
6
-------
employees or residents of the surrounding area, suffered the casualties.
For example, an explosion. at a chemical plant could involve injuries
to employees, residents of the surrounding area, or both.
If the ,~x..
plosion involved injuries to employees only, the risk factor was con..
sidered voluntary on the grounds that those who work at the plant
consciously accept the poss.ibility of being involved in an accident when
they make the decision to work there.
If the explosion involved in..
juries to residents of the surrounding area, the risk factor was in..
voluntary.... those who reside in the vicinity of the plant do not
consciously accept the possibility of an accident at the chemical plant
directly involving them.
Obviously, this interpretation is only one of many interpretations
possible.... another being that those residing in the vicinity of the plant
consciously accept the risk of an accident at the plant involving them
when they decide to establish residence near the plant -- making the
risk factor to them a voluntary one.
A case can be made for the
viability of either instance.
Keeping the feasibility of those interpre..
tations in mind, one could then deduce that there are very few instances
of accidents involving involuntary risk -- again, classification is very
difficult and not entirely reliable.
We fully recommend this clas sification .... voluntary or involun-
tary risk factor -- should be used always keeping in mind the apparent
weakne sse s of the s cherne.
7
-------
B.
Exposures
Probably the most difficult aspect of interpretation of exposures
used in this study is the seemingly impossible criterion of comparability.
The lack of consen'sus between government departments regarding a
basis from which to derive exposure rates is apparent.
Each depart-
ment has its own criteria -- to the extent that different departments
examining the same aspect yield completely different results -- and
relevant comparability is almost impos sible.
For example, exposure rate s for waterborne commerce are in
ton-miles; rates for the airlines are in miles, hours and departures;
,.atc.a fo1' thp. 1'ailroa.ds are in tons. carioacis. miles. 'Cassen~er miles
and miles of passenger trains; etc.
Obviously, the comparability of
these measures is extremely difficult -- and without some form of
conversion criteria. -- almost impossible.
The probability of drawing
any clear, concise informa.tion using these different measures of ex-
posure is almost nil -- a comparison of unlike things can only yield
an incorrent answer.
Therefore, all exposures should be examined
only within their specific modal context -- comparison with other
modes is entirely illogical.
Another difficulty with exposures in this study -- one not as
appa.rent -- is the exclusion of exposures involving involuntary risk.
8
-------
The exposures given represent totals for each mode, and if accident
rates were computed, would signify the probability of an individual
travelling on a certain mode suffering an accident -- be it either
death or injury.
That's what the exposures represent -- what they
don't represent is the probability of an individual not travelling on
that mode suffering an accident from that mode involuntarily - - 1. e. ,
an airplane crashing into an apartment building a!1d killing people in
the apartment.
Granted, these particular exposures would be ex-
trem.ely difficult to compute, but it must be recognized as a. very
important facet that at some point must be dealt with.
To sum up, exposure rates in this study should be considered
separately, -- 'viable comparison isn't feasible and modal autonomy
must always be recognized.
A viable comparison can only be achieved
through conversion of relevant data -- something not explored in this
study.
Also, the importance of involuntary risk exposures must be
recognized and dealth with - - something that can only add to the
relevance and readibility of future studie s.
c.
Injury and Property Da.mage Data
Reference must be made in this section to an always present
difficulty in data interpretation -- that of determining to what extent
injury and property damage data is accurately reported and utilized.
9
-------
Some questions that may arise in making this determination are:
Injuries can be of many degrees -- which are to be reported, and do
a.ll sources report the same way? Are minor cuts and burns really
injuries?
Who set.s the criteria for property damage? If a plane
crashes, does the report list the plane as lost, or give a property
damage figure, or both -- and if the property damage isn't given, does
one assign one? How close are the reporting procedures -- what are
they comprised of? Etc.
In this study we have provided property damage data only for
those accidents for which specific dollar amounts were available
(primarily from The Fire Journal).
If no such information were cited,
.
no property damage figure was given, even though all the events re-
ported here must have resulted in some property damage, and in
some cases (as in commercial airline crashes), this damage may be
substantial.
These limitations must be kept in mind when interpreting
the data provided.
D.
High Consequence Accidents and Related Magnitude
It must be noted that the criteria used as "high consequence" --
ten deaths, thirty injuries, $3 million property da.mage -- are com-
pletely arbitrary ones.
These particular criteria were selected
because of the reporting procedures of the organizations this study
10
-------
encompas sed.
Particular note must be taken of the use of such cri-
teria throughout this study.-- all modes are considered in the same
context, which isn't necessarily repres~ntati'...eof what high consequence
might actually be for individual accidents /mode.
In conjunction with
this, this very same criteria eliminates many accidents which are high
consequence, in their own, but fail to meet our criteria.
For example, if a private plane carrying four people were to
crash and all were killed, the accident wouldn't be listed in the chron-
ology in the following section -- it wouldn't meet the established cri-
teria, although undoubtedly of high consequence -- all aboard the plane
were killed (100% fatality rate).
Now, if a train crashes and thirty
passengers are injured, regardless of the seriousness of their injuries,
the accident would meet our criteria, although obviously not of the
same severity as the plane accident, and would be included in the
chronology.
Obviously, we've eliminated an extremely high con-
sequence accident -- 100% fatality rate -- and included an accident
that meets our criteria, but isn't of the severity of the one we've
eliminated.
An apparent double standard -- one that must be lived with, and
can be, as long as it's recognized as such.
The consequences of an
accident are not necessarily indicative of the magnitude of the risks
involved.
The potential for loss/mode varies with each mode --
11
-------
precisely the way this material must be reviewed and used.
If used
in any other way, many misinterpretations are possible -- and in most
cases, probable.
E.
Aggregate Da"ta
There is a definite danger in looking only at the aggregate ~ata
presented in this study u it tends to mask aspects within categories
that are more receptive and indicative of the risks identified.
Es sen-
tially, the accidents that ha.ppen most often, and pose the greatest
risk, are hidden in the aggregate data of the classificatory scheme,
presenting an abstract, and for the most part, not complete repre-
sentation of the risk involved.
For example, the number of plane accidents, and the risks ex-
perienced, involving crashes on take-off, landing, or landing approach
are much greater than those involving crashes in night.
Therefore,
it's logical to assume tbatthe greatest risks are experienced within
a few minutes of take-off or landing, but, aggregate data presents only
total accident figures and inadvertantly shields the relevance of these
individual aspects -- individual conciseness necessarily gives way to
aggregate generalities.
Without much doubt, the more thoroughly one explores the ele-
ments involved, the more relevant, and concise, the material becomes.
12
-------
The aggregate data in this study must be used within this context --
it's an excellent source of general information, and must be used only
ior interpretations at that same level.
Use at ci.i.ifereat levels will
most likely yield incorrect interpretations, erroneous decisions and
unclear representations.
F.
Other Problems
What is defined as an accident in this study is the quantifiable
culmination of a "chain-oi-events" -- undoubtedly, not a completely
accurate measure.
Any accident ~ involve a chain-of-events -- a
sequence of happenings, building on the previous one and initiating the
next.
Our criteria doesn't sufficiently deal with this sequence -- it
deals only with the final stage, the quantifiable consequences.
It
should be pointed out that it is impossible to compute risks in this
chain-oi-events using our criteria -- they are not designed to do that.
Risk assessments, using the data presented in this study, should,
and can only be, viable if made in relation to the end result.
Proba-
bilities can be computed for accidents occurring, but not for any event
in the sequence happening, or the initiation of another "link" in the
chain occurring.
The data doesn't possess this built-in feature and
shouldn't be used as if it did.
13
-------
Finally, as a closing thought, it should be noted that the material
presented in this study is as inclusive as possible -- it represents the
fullest, most accurate material available from the sources explored --
but, and this is a v,ery important point, there is no way of knowing just
how complete the data really is.
The likelihood of ackno\I.'ledging all
accidents meeting the criteria established in this study, within the
stipulated time-frame, is far too small to even attempt to compute.
Again, this study is as inclusive as possible -- but it must be remem-
bered that it isn't all inclusive.
Although it may be the best available
compilation and presentation of material on this particular subject,
it shouldn't be considered the ultimate authority.
G.
Omission of Drug Data
Data; involving drugs and drug related fatalities, have been
omitted from this study because of the difficulty of determining the
extent their use contributed to the reported deaths.
It must be realized
that the pos sibility of establishing a link between a certain drug and
the subsequent death is almost impos sible -- a degree of responsibility
would have to be quantified for each link in the chain in order to make
such a determination.
