Who was responsible. I need to qualify my answer by saying that I am not a lawyer (and I have no other bad habits). Several years ago a lawyer friend told me that in common law (I hope I got this right) if anythng falls off you airplane, the operator is responsible for damages, period.
If this is true, then I think all the plaintifs have to do is prove that the part, indeen, fell of the DC-10
Any lawyers out there?
