How so? By Fed do you mean Federal Court? Would not the FAA be liable to
the charge that it is not doing everything possible to prevent such an
accident by usurping an air directive? The jet was cleared for takeoff
behind a Dash-8-200 "in violation of mandatory separation requirements."

We don't even know if that's the case. If the jet took off from the
same place as the Dash 8 then no wake turbulence delay was necessary.
