Deduced statistics fit for the news


Just about anyone nowadays has access to government statistics.
It is enough to avail oneself of an online graphics generator and plot just about anything and make just about any correlation that is sensational enough, and then publish it as a news graphic. Also thanks to tylervigen.com.
How about this:
"Our science reporter found that science, space and technology causes people to commit suicide."



"Our sources confirm that crude imports from Norway caused fatal collisions between cars and trains. The good news: the trend is declining."



"Our investigative team found that nuclear energy generated by the US causes people to drown in their own swimming pool!"



the no longer secret, ghostly NOLA base.

Some of the buildings on the base were the most off-limits facilities in Louisiana, besides those at Barksdale AFB. Now these strictly classified buildings are abandoned and explored by professionals (The Proper People.)

Something queasy about the formerly busiest spaces being empty and unimportant.
