Not sure they ever knew 44

Sue the airline for the lack of basic airmanship if you're going to hold someone accountable.

I hope Boeing throws every thing they have behind this and buries this law firm so deep they won't be able to see daylight. I for one would donate to their legal fund just on principle.

When you read that the owners of the World Trade Center are still pursuing a lawsuit against United and American, it reaffirms the notion that Shakespeare was right: Kill All the Lawyers.

Regardless of how you may feel about this particular case, it is litigation that has brought many of the safety improvements that we see in A/C's today, the modern seatbelt, fire retardant materials, the new space requirement between cabinets near emergency exits, floor vents for pressure release in case of a rapid D, the required emergency rations and design of slides/rafts, the list goes on and on. I wish that it didn't have to be a required part of the learning process but regrettably, history has shown that improvements only come by force! The industry is very reluctant to make any changes on its own and they have proved over and over again that a certain amount of deaths are acceptable as part of the business.

Sue the airline for the lack of basic airmanship if you're going to hold someone accountable.

You would think, but isn't Asiana considered to be a 'Flag' carrier of that country? Since the crash happened in the US, I would think lawyers could file suit here in the US but I doubt the South Korean laws allow citizens to file suit against companies like Asiana.

Why not sue the concrete manufacturer for making the impact so hard. Imagine if the sea wall were instead made of feathers. They would have come to a soft landing.

"The National Transportation Safety Board has said pilots told investigators they realized the approach speed was low and set the auto-throttle to correct it, but realized too late that the aircraft speed never increased."

I hate it when they do that. Best thing to do is nothing. Crash enough of these things. Boeing will fix that tricky "arm" mode the throttles go into.

One of the passengers represented by the firm is Zhang Yuan, who suffered severe spinal injuries and a broken leg, the firm said. ?My husband, my daughter, other passengers and I would not have suffered such terrible injuries if the sliding ramps and the seat belts would not have trapped us in the burning wreckage,? the firm quoted her as saying.

Totally agree. Get rid of those darn seat belts and slides. Management could pay the FA's less because that would lower their responsibility AND shorten the safety brief.

It was an auto-pirate malfunction

They are called shotgun lawsuits. The idea is to sue as many entities as possible and get a little blood from each of them. Asiana and Boeing are just the start.
