U.S. Air passengers already hinting at litigation

BS

By the time you get to work, it's much cooler.

And, if you are a dim prick drinking as you are driving, you whistle, Lauren Bacall style.

Litigious anyone-is-responsible-but-me babies.

 

AQ-B -- you could be correct, I have no idea.

Without knowing all of the facts or the basis for any claims, I don't think that the concept of a lawsuit here is insane. The people certainly were damaged and perhaps the 5k payment didn't cover those damages.

 

So you are saying that McDonald's coffee should come with a warning that you not drink it until you arrive at work?

I got that right?

 

Simon --
All this stuff, including the warnings that McDonalds got about the temperature of their coffee -- and previous people who'd been injured because of it -- and the woman's injuries, are in the record of the trial. We're not making this stuff up. She won on the merits.

 

No, you shouldn't be a moron and drink anything hot without tipping the lips first.

I mean, who the fuck does that?

 

All the pertinent facts are in the wiki listing.

The bottom line is that you are part of the problem if you are supporting THAT lawsuit.

 

I think that the plaintiffs' attorney will probably claim the pilot told the passengers to duck before the crash.

He should have said "goose."

 

I'm praying that some day I get killed in an airliner crash.
My wife and kids will be set - they'll get a much bigger payout than any insurance I have.

 

Well, then that's a different thing, isn't it? But if that plane was well and truly brought down by a random flock of birds then I think the only entity these folks can sue is god. And the last case against him/she/it/them was thrown out of court.

 

aw Simon, why no love for the foolish old woman who burned her crotch off? Seriously, would you wish that on your grandma even if she was stupid enough to put it there? Maybe the woman was in an old car that had no cup holders? Where's the love? I interject that a mistake shouldn't cost you your vagina.

 

"There is no safety equipment you can install on a jet that will prevent birds from being sucked into the engine."

Why not? Couldn't they put a screen in front of the engine? I'm not an engineer....although I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

 

Holiday Inn EXPRESS......just sayin'
