$1.4 million each?
Doesn't seem quite fair when you consider the soldier who had a pace stick thrown at his head is awarded £300. He was in a coma for 6 days, had a blood clot removed from his brain, his left hand is paralysed and he now walks with a limp.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/s...re/7120438.stm Maybe he should follow the example in this case and sue the manufacturer of the pace stick, Staffordshire county council, Tesco (cos that's where the sergeant major shops), etc. Oh and he could sue Airbus as well, I'm sure any good solicitor could prove that there was one flying overhead when the incident took place!
