Asiana crash victims sue Boeing
A group of passengers who were aboard an Asiana Airlines flight that crash-landed last summer has sued aircraft manufacturer Boeing, according to a lawsuit filed in an Illinois court. "We are asking for damages to be paid to the passengers and asking the court to hold Boeing partially liable," Monica Kelly, an attorney for Chicago-based Ribbeck Law Chartered, told CNN on Saturday.

This filing begs for loser pay legislation...and if the plaintiff cannot pay then the ambulance chasing lawyers should be on the hook to make the defendant whole. Shakespeare was absolutely correct.
Couldn't agree more, John.
Personal injury lawyers trying to tap the largest available pockets of money, in the hopes of getting a payday.
Sad part is that they just might get some. John has it right.
The laws you conceive when you have Boeing on the brain oir even Airbus) will be the same laws you'll have to live with when the plane is made by the Canadians, by the Brasilians, by the Japanese and by the Chinese.
Any law you create today may be the law the governs your suit when you're crippled by a plane made in China.

If the airplane crashed as a direct result of a defect in manufacturing process they should pay. This plane and it's systems we're certified by the US government. It was crashed by Asiana pilots who apparently didn't know how to land the thing. If they hadn't crashed it nobody would be injured. I'm guessing these lawyers are gonna say the systems were confusing to the pilots. I'm sure they were confused. Common sense has departed, especially at the judicial level ( judges). And anybody that would board a Chinese airliner Also has no common sense. Lol
The plane operated as designed, trained and expected in this case.
Te lawyers are going after Boeing, only because they have bank accounts flush with cash, at the moment. And the culpable party (pilot and by extension the airline) is protected by convention.

Sure it's nothing but a money grab. Has nothing really to do with Boeing. Actually Boeing should be protected by the same convention as Asiana. We always give up some of our rights when dealing with foreign entities but they always gain rights when dealing with us. We got smart people making the rules.
There's no way the plane was confusing. I find a 777 is easier to fly than the 737-800.
