No cases ever in Australia of bystanders being sued.

In the litigious USA is it feasible that relatives of the deceased/permanently impaired passenger could subpoena for the passenger list hoping to find and sue a passenger who was adequately trained but who did not respond?

As was repeatedly pointed out to me during my career: in the USA you can sue anyone for anything. Collecting, however, is a different matter.

There is no obligation to respond as there is in France.

I haven't read my code of conduct for a while, but I think it said something about "act" or "omission."

Had some involvement,back in the day, where I had to force a door for various reasons.......it went against all protocol, (assess the risk, call the Police, you should never force entry etc etc)-reckon there 'aint no Judge in the Land that would argue that I didn't smell gas at the time.
