Seeing as we are on the topic...... Noticed this in today's paper. I challenge any lawyer to justify how Qantas should be liable.
Steward Sues Over Flight Scare A former steward is suing Qantas for up to $850,000 because of a flight he says will haunt him for ever. Patrick Shiels told the District Court in Sydney yesterday he was gazing out of a porthole of a flight from Bali to Perth. "It was dark and I saw a sudden explosion, sparks, shooting flames, and I just froze," he said. "Soon after, there was a much bigger explosion...shooting flames, I thought the wing had been blown off". The court heard an engine blade fractured and was "chopped up" by other blades, and the flight returned to Bali. Six years later, Mr Shiels is suing Qantas, saying the panic left him with severe post-traumatic stress. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Save up to $160 by signing up for NetZero Platinum Internet service. http://www.netzero.net/?refcd=N2P0602NEP8 -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
