Do you think they shouldn't sue the pilot?

See my reply to John McGrew...

My guess it the pilot's estate/heirs will go after the tower owners.
Particularly in CA the juries are well known for making awards against
the corporations to the individual.

When it comes to civil suits it doesn't matter how long it's been
there or who was first although when it comes to the big tower it
appears from this thread the airport was first.

Betcha they sue the estate of the pilot to recover the cost.
