Tuninter ATR 72 Crash - 6/Aug/2005 - Crew Sentenced to 10 years Jail
Italian media are reporting that the flight crew of the Tuninter ATR 72 that ditched off Palermo (LICJ) on 6 August 2005 have each been sentenced to 10 years in jail.
7 other Tuninter maintenance and management employees were sentenced to 7-8 years each.
Considering the aircraft ditched due to a fuel gauging problem following installation of an incorrect part number, it seems bizarre that the flight crew bore the brunt of the punishment.
