Total BS! She just got contacted by another Gloria Allred or Jim Adler type of shyster lawyers who wants to make $$ off of supposed damages.
Lilia Chavez should have watched a dozen “Air Disasters” episodes before setting foot in an airliner.But the other thing she should take into consideration is that, statistically, airline travel is far safer than any other method of traveling long distances. She is suing over the hole in the donut. Statistics are of course cold comfort when your number is up, or momentarily even seems to be. But you don’t know that your car wouldn’t have been T-boned if you had driven your car instead of flying.
But the twin realities are that
- the people who design, build, maintain, and operate airliners are human beings, and human beings do make mistakes. And,
- there is a system in place to constantly improve the design of air transport equipment and air transport procedures.
When air travel began, it was a serious risk to use it. A century later, it is the least risky option. A little gratitude is in order.
