CASPER - no doubt that the Singapore courts are not always straight. In this case, sadly, the judge, IMHO, was right as it still cannot be proved that the captain did it on purpose, despite the circumstantial evidence that suggest he did it without a doubt, again, IMHO.
Regarding SQ006 I think the major legal battles will be fought in Taiwan's courts between the lawyers representing the insurers of SIA and the insurers of Taipei Airport. Just have to hope that the airport didn't opt for 'self-insurance' as that will mean the Taipei government are acting as their own underwriters and have a vested and conflicting interest in any court actions.
