US Government is, Sue them.


Well, the government (you and I) has already given the airlines a
substantial subsidy for their revenue losses subsequent to 9/11. Now
the insurance companies are looking for a scapegoat.

Look for suits against aircraft manufacturer Boeing as well:

The airlines also had policies of acquiesense to hijackers, as opposed
to policies of resistance. They still oppose arming of cockpit crews. I
would think that these policies are the chink in their armor against
these lawsuits.

Well, duh!! If Boeing hadn't built those things so well, they would've
broken up on impact and not hurt the buildings, and the falling debris would
have been so small as to no injure any ground-pounder, and if they were
slower we could have knocked them down with rocks, and if....

As someone else wrote.. what a load of crap.

I don't see any option but to sue the families of the Wright Brothers. Those
damn bicycle builders should have seen what thier invention would be capable
of less than 100 years later.
