Airlines are probably chartering flights of lawyers into VT/Montgomery Exec Airport as we speak. It’ll make DukeLax look like a moot court at law school.
I put up a post a couple days ago asking the lawyers here to comment on whether lawsuits would be possible given the concept of sovereign immunity. From what I understand, Virginia has been the stingiest of all states about passing laws that waive this immunity.
Anyway, no one answered me so I am still in the dark about how immune Tech is from lawsuits. I have a feeling that if it is truly immune, the legislature is going to have to do something for the victims families.
But I am sure you are right that the lawyers are on it as we post.
