Lonmore makes "sensationalist.." reporting of the media's reporting... I thought the reporting had been, prior to the incident, the person's initials, nationality and town. That is still quite restrained standards by other norms. It goes a bit too far to blame the media for being partly responsible.
Anyway the point I was wondering was about the liability for controllers of their actions, whether negligent or not at a given time (i.e. accident due to well accidents happen vs crash due to controller reading the newspaper to pick an extreme!).
AND NO, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FEW PPRUNERS UNABLE TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION OF WHAT HAPPENED AT ZRH but it highlights that software companies seemingly can exclude liability if their software eats your accounts and kills your business so what is the real difference here.
