12 years AFTER the event?

Surely there are plenty of warnings regarding seat rails? Civil aviation authorities all over the world keep reminding us in various publications about these rails and the dangers of not making appropriate alterations to them.

It's amazing that it can still be found to be the responsibility of Cessna, probably some 30 to 40 years after they built the machine, to update all these problems, despite the owners being made aware of them?

I suppose anything goes in the USA, probably all comes down to the size of your wallet and the (lack of) integrity of your attorney.
