Well, my opinion:
€2 million is at the high end for "loss of income" for a seriously disabled person (40 year * €50.000 of wages). One may add cost of medical treatment to that, which can amount to a few million over the years in rare cases. Most people (the ones that walked away) would be fairly compensated with a few 1000s for damage to their luggage, hotel costs and spoiled holidays...
Dutch judges are sane, so those lawyers went venue shopping in the US.
