Excuse me, but which Brazilian law did the pilots and the controllers violate? You cannot be charged, indicted, and prosecuted for a crime, unless you can point to a law that was broken. The very definition of a crime is "breaking the law"
The first post said:
Pilots Joseph Lepore, 42, of Bay Shore, N.Y., and Jan Paladino, 34, of Westhampton Beach, N.Y., were charged with exposing an aircraft to danger resulting in death. Paz said the charge is similar to involuntary manslaughter and is punishable by one to three years in prison.
Is "exposing an aircraft to danger resulting in death" a law in Brazil? Is "punishable by one to three years in prison" written in the legal code as recommended punishment for violating this so called "law"? I don't care if this alleged "criminal act" act is similar to riding a bicycle upside down, is there an actual law that was violated here?
