FILE - In this Jan. 13, 2014 file photo, Southwest Airlines Flight 4013 sits at the M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport in Hollister, Mo. The plane was supposed to land at the nearby Branson Airport on Sunday evening, but instead landed at Clark Airport, also known as Taney County Airport, which has a much shorter runway than at Branson, about 7 miles away. The plane's pilots have told investigators they were confused by the small airport's runway lights, believing it to be a larger airport in nearby Branson, the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday, Jan. 17, 2014.

FILE - In this Feb. 4, 2013 photo, investigators work the scene where a tour bus collided with a pickup truck on Highway 38 north of Yucaipa, Calif., killing eight people. Federal regulators ordered the tour bus operator, National City, Calif.-based Scapadas Magicas LLC, to immediately stop operating because its buses weren't properly maintained or inspected and its drivers weren't properly vetted for qualifications. Intercity bus and truck companies with a continuing history of safety problems will be easier to shut down under new regulations the Federal Motor Carrier Administration said Friday that it plans to issue. The regulations give the agency authority to put out of business operators who have been cited for repeated problems, even if their most recent inspection alone doesn't quite meet the threshold for closure, the agency said.

Americans spend a total of 600,000 years stuck in traffic every year. The nation has about 100,000 bridges old enough for Medicare.

A jetliner takes off from Washington's Ronald Reagan National National Airport, Monday, Dec. 2, 2013. Pilots are becoming so reliant on computer systems that do most of the flying in today's airliners that on the rare occasions when something goes wrong, they're sometimes unprepared to take control, according to aviation safety experts and government and industry studies. Increasing automation has been a tremendous safety boon to aviation, contributing to historically low accident rates in the U.S. and many parts of the world. (AP Photo/J. David Ake)

The government is speeding up research on safety systems that automatically prevent drivers from operating their cars if they are drunk or aren't buckled properly. Officials also said on Nov. 14, 2013, that they expect to decide by year's end how to encourage automakers to make available in more cars some special safety systems already in certain high-end vehicles. Those systems warn drivers before a collision that they are about to run into another vehicle, and can brake automatically to avoid a crash or make it less severe. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)
