On the other hand, authors of Ref. 8[3] have found that beyond certain timescales the time dynamics of both plane and car accidents are not Poissonian but instead long-range correlated.[2] [1]http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0509092…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0901.3183/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
