Obviously, it is pretty much fact. My assertion was that it was poor taste and also that the lawyer should be a bit more precise in his facts.
I still feel it is a fatuous response to the original query. It is analagous to someone asking what life on the North Sea is like, and someone posting the accident reports on the BA Chinook or the HS Super Puma crashes and then saying "look how dangerous it's going to be". Would you quote the TWA 800 crash in response to someone asking about flying B747s for TWA?
Anyway,nuff said.
