Posted by deSitter: "Another example would be Comair in Lexington."
The Comair crash was the focus of a presentation recently, in Montreal (McGill), by an official (of the U.S. Justice Dep't) who had been involved in the litigation which resulted. Facts - meaning the official iteration of the relevant investigation-produced facts as recorded (or mostly recorded) in official reports - are not available, obviously (no kidding) yet, about the SFO "what did not happen" event. But even trying to think about the litigation that could have been a byproduct of a horrid conflagration - mind-boggling. I'll leave it to someone who pilots airliners (or who has) to note, or dismiss, irony in the Asiana incident at the same airport, the fire truck, the "ground getting bigger" amid silence . . . up front.
