As far as I know there has not been any cases in the UK involving manslaughter or gross negligence in air accidents. That is the reason for my remark. If you or anyone else knows of any such case I would be interested to hear about it.
OK, understood, I was taking a wider view. There have been a number of recent manslaughter trials following fatalities. The first one that comes to mind was the crash of a badly maintained tipper truck in Somerset - result was two manslaughter convictions.
Any reason why air accidents shouldn't be criminalised, if there's evidence laws have been broken?
