Airline Safety Gets a Dance

November 4th, 2013 | By: America's Infrastructure Report Card

The new Virgin Safety Dance sings like a chart topper making its safety message loud and clear.  Virgin is doing their part to keep safety a priority, using their music video roots to keep us entertained and safe. Say goodbye to videos of the past and say hello to the new way to communicate a safety message. How could you not pay attention? Virgin isn’t the only one putting a fresh face on their safety video.  Delta just released a holiday version of their safety video complete with the Abominable Snowman, Santa Claus, Scrooge and Alex Trebek to keep the message fresh throughout the busy holiday travel season.

A Jack-O-Lantern School Modernization

October 31st, 2013 | By: America's Infrastructure Report Card

After a devastating fire, the 100 year-old rebuild of Whatcom Middle School in Bellingham, Washington, is a great story of a jack-o-lantern school modernization. Changing the school from the inside-out, Whatcom now has all the modern conveniences of a new school and (even better) the seismic upgrades to make it resilient to the next earthquake, but it still has the same historical character of the school that was started in 1903. However, almost half of America’s public school buildings are like Whatcom – they’re much older than you might think and built to educate the baby boomers – a generation that is now retiring from the workforce.
