It is sad that in our country many people look at tragedy as a meal ticket. Our tort society seems to think that there should be no bumps and bruises, but if there are, someone should pay even if no fault exists other than an act of nature.

Unfortunate things happen. US Airways has done a marvelous job taking care of the passengers of that miraculous flight. Why then must greedy mooching lawyers convince otherwise decent people that they have been harmed by a big entity that should pay out for trauma and suffering. For God’s sake these people still draw breath because US Airways invested in people, who when the time came, were able to act appropriately and save all on board from a far worse outcome.
