My accountant was just talking about that crash. It seems that the IRS determined that the passengers lived for several minutes, and knew they were going to die, thus the lawsuit awards had to go to them instead of to their families. Based on that decision, they all had to pay inheritence taxes. Had they died instantly, the estate taxes could have been avoided.
Please tell me you forgot the /sarc tag.
OMG!! How STUPID!! However, it was NOT TWA’s fault...it was a MISSILE!!
