looks like everybody is pointing fingers at everyone else---looks like a future lawyers feast here

I heard this morning that a Dallas law firm took out a full page ad in that city for the victims' families to consult with them regarding possible legal action.

The family of a woman killed when Comair Flight 5191 took off on the wrong runway and crashed in flames sued the airline Friday, blaming it for the nation's deadliest airplane disaster in five years.

The lawsuit accuses Comair of negligence and says passenger Rebecca L. Adams suffered "conscious pain and suffering" when the plane went down Sunday morning and quickly burned with 49 people still inside.

I can't say that I blame them for suing, but so soon? I think I would wait out of respect for all of the families at least until the funerals are over. This article also states that a Texa law firm took out a full page ad in the local newspaper promising to get maximum damages for families of victims....now they should be burned at the stake. That is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Well, either way, if you get your peanuts, a thank you is appropriate. :-D

That's what I say!

Bad feeling prompted Lexington event speaker to cancel trip on Comair 5191

But he decided to cancel the trip, including his booking on Flight 5191, after hearing of the Aug. 10 arrest of terror suspects in London, accused of plotting to blow up trans-Atlantic jets.

And the speaker who took his place at a Lexington meeting of a Muslim civil-rights group said he was one computer click away from booking Flight 5191 as well — but decided it was too early and opted for a later flight.

Ihsan Bagby, chairman of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said he tried to talk Shaw out of canceling so close to his group’s annual dinner, where the senator was to give the keynote address.

“I was not very pleased, put it that way,” said Bagby, who is a professor of Arabic and Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky. “Looking back, I am so glad he didn’t feel comfortable. I truly believe that God was protecting him.”

Shaw, a Democrat from Fayetteville, has been a senator for 10 years. He is Muslim but said his anxiety about the weekend trip didn’t relate to prospects of being profiled by security workers.

Taking Shaw’s place as the dinner speaker was Parvez Ahmed of Jacksonville, Fla., chairman of the board of the national Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Does anyone get a bad feeling about Shaw's bad feeling?

Family of Ky. Plane Crash Survivor Says Doctors Amputate His Leg; He Has No Memory of Accident

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Doctors have amputated the left leg of a co-pilot whose plane crashed on takeoff after turning onto the wrong runway, and he does not remember the accident that killed 49 people, his family said Monday.

James Polehinke, the lone survivor of the Aug. 27 crash at the Blue Grass Airport, faces several additional surgeries to repair fractures, one involving his spinal cord, the family said.

Neither of the pilots of Comair Flight 5191, which crashed last month in Lexington, Kentucky, had any illegal drugs or alcohol in his blood, the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday.
