Attorney Timothy A Loranger told the BBC the litigation process could take "a couple of years" as there are a lot of people involved.

"His [Mr Tran] leg was almost sucked out of the airplane if it wasn't for his seatbelt," Mr Loranger said. "It is just terrifying."
What an odd observation to make. Not Mr. Tran in his entirety, just his leg. I think I would be looking at the big picture about a suddenly unimpeded view of the universe twirling about Mr. Tran had his seat belt not been effective instead of the improbable case of only his leg taking a hike without him.

That BBC video needs to be played a few times at aircraft maker facilities and repair depots to move the understanding from the abstract to the concrete.
