In the End, GA Suffers

This makes good sense because money will replace the dead children.
 
While I too decry the litigious nature of the United States, I cannot entirely blame the bereaved and their counsel. If they can show problems with the pilot of which the defendants should have been aware, their suit does have a leg to stand on. If I lost my wife to an airline crash in which the pilot who had caused the crash had demonstrated deficiencies to his or her superiors, I might put a lawyer on speed dial myself. Or would you say the people suing Colgan air over the buffalo crash have it wrong?

This isssue here is not to sue but who. I'd say the airservice is the defendent not the school system.
 
You raise a good point, but I think the precedent in the US is more complex. David would know better than I, but I think that a court can assign partial responsibility to multiple parties. I do hope the municipality prevails, or the door will be opened to all sorts of lawsuits whose defense and penalties will be paid by us.
