I read this on AvWeb this morning - not only is Cirrus named in the
suit, but also Teledyne, Hartzel, S-Tec, Honeywell and Justice
Aviation (whoever they are). And this *before* the NTSB has determined
the cause. Unbelievable.

They left out the company that made the bricks that the building was
constructed of, the City of New York for allowing it to be put there when
it
is an obvious hazard to aircraft, the FAA for extending the VFR corridor
up
the river that far, etc.

Gee, the only person they left out was the guy who's fault it probably
was -
what a shocker.

Bloody hell.. This is why the rest of the world thinks there is
something wrong with Americans! Anybody heard of personal
responsibility??

If the plaintiff in a lawsuit had to pay for the defendants legal bills if
the plaintiff loses (like in Europe) most of this frivolous suing BS would
go away. Well I'm off to pour hot coffee all over my crotch.

Actually, if you want real legal reform all you would need to is to
cause punitive damages to go to someone/something other than the
claimant. The legal system makes the person whole through actual
damages (pain and suffering, lose of income, expenses, etc). Giving
punitive damages to this person never made any sense to me at all.
Allow attorneys to still collect a percentage of the punitive but the
rest should go somewhere else (even to the bottom of the ocean would
be better).
