US Airways are the innocent party here. They should sue the estate of the birds that caused the crash.....

I bet lawyers were renting boats and running out to the plane so they could hand out cards.  Big cities are full of ambulance chasers.  Plus so many people in today's society are just looking for that free meal ticket.

After the airline has been doing what it can for those people, not charging them for the flight, and handing out thousands of dollars to all of the passengers, they are still going to start a lawsuit? What a bunch of ungratefull, selfish, greedy morons....

They need to be thankfull that they're still alive, accept the fact that it was nobody's fault and that it was just a fluke of nature.

Hopefully, a judge will throw it out.

What is wrong with these people. Don't they understand how lucky they are?

No... they don't.

Alas it is exactly this sort of thing that has given Americans such a bad reputation... and is the reason I wouldn't live in the States again. I hate lawyers nearly as much as politicians, tabloid journalists and traffic wardens :evil

Unfortunately the "litigation culture" is no longer confined to America.

Don't I know it Doug. Methinks living on top of a mountain far away from humanity is about the only way to stay sane!

Newest Black Berry=$400
Carry on and what not on such a short flight=around $1000+
Lap Top if they had it=$2000
Being alive when the Captain could have saved him self only=Priceless.

So The $5000 that they gave out that they did not have to, was more then enough. Any one that shows up looking for more should be tazered on the spot, and beat to within an inch of there lives, and then pissed on just so they realize how lucky they are to be alive.  >:(

Get the idea it is mostly just the one guy so far.

One or two may pop up... but still...

I am an American, and after an event like that, a law suit is the last thing I would think about..

Maybe going to church more.. and thanking God, but not a law suit.
