Maybe in your area but the whistle was blown here. Also, depends on your definition of disaster. Hold the whistle lead to football games and the nicks. Watching that, to me was a disaster. That's just an opinion of mine. My opinion on the automatics is also that they are screaming at us to blow the whistle.
