That's just a tragedy on every angle. The firefighters are probably sick about it, the parents are sick about it. People like the people here are sick about it. It's just truly a major tragedy.

"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."

Boeing is being held partially liable, but no lawsuit against Asiana Airlines. Deeper Pockets? Easier to get the money? Or can they still be added later?

From same article:

The passengers represented by Ribbeck Law began their court proceedings shortly after the crash, filing a petition for Boeing to release evidence to the plaintiffs.

At the time, the law firm said it was considering adding Asiana and certain parts manufacturers to the lawsuit, but Friday's filing named only Boeing, Kelly said.

Pilot Error Cited

"South Korea's Asiana Airlines admitted Tuesday that pilot error was partly to blame for the crash of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco last July, in which three people were killed."

"Lee Hyomin, a spokeswoman for Asiana Airlines, said the pilot was not solely responsible for the crash but "could have failed to respond quickly" to factors including problems with the aircraft's auto throttle system."

"The auto throttle problem was compounded by inadequate warning systems to alert the flight crew when the plane's airspeed fell too low, she said."

"The spokeswoman also cited the "flight crew's failure to execute a timely go-around when the conditions required it by the company's procedures."

I wonder if the mechanical problem affect flight MH370.

Does anyone know how often pilots have to take continuing education and testing to prove continuing competence to fly planes? Like doctors?
