If I had been on that plane I probably would have instantly died of a heart attack. At the very least, I would have been forever traumatized. It’s hard enough just to get me on a plane and my dad was an engineer for Lockheed. He help design the planes, but even knowing how they fly and why they fly, I still get freaked out. However, I am not a litigious person, therefore I can’t say I would sue the airline. But, there is a part of me that understands why some would. I wasn’t on that flight… thank God, so I can’t speak for what that experience must have been like. I would imagine pretty freaking scary, though.
I suppose it beats working for a living. The law is there to protect those who have suffered loss such as those whose friends and relatives were on the B737 Max incidents. If the basis of the case is being able to see a fiery or missing engine and nothing further that would limit those with locus standi to those who could see the engines out of the right windows and whose view was not obscured by wings, other pax, seats, distance or the positioning of the windows. Cannot see how the public good is well served by cases such as this though it is quite possible United will pursue the matter with Pratt and Whitney should it be found that the engine issue was not caused by installation maintenance nor usage.
I knew it was just a matter of time that some sleazy lawyer would file a class action suit. Everyone was ok but now all they see is $$$$.
Unbelievable! Never miss a chance to get rich over a completely benign incident! That’s great, sue the pants off the airline(s) and the rest of us will pay the increased Liability premiums a little at a time.
I wonder how many of those “stressed” passengers got on the replacement aircraft and headed on over to Paradise. Shame on the opportunistic weenies that are suing and the ambulance chasing maggots that are representing them in court.
Does anyone really believe that anyone at United Airlines wanted that to happen or was intentionally negligent?
All very good points. What airline would intentionally create situations to get bad press/get sued? And you’re correct, likely a high percentage of those on the flight booked another flight to Hawaii.
Who can I sue if the weather is bad and I had plans that day?
I’d try suing the Govenor Ige. He seems to be controlling everything else.
