Aviation Lawyers representing civilian and military plaintiffs (typically crash survivors or family members of deceased crash victims) must answer many complicated questions: What law (federal or state) should be used?

Frequently Asked Questions Government Reports Ask an Attorney While air travel is generally safe, there are a number of hazards that face all of us when we board an airplane and put our lives in the hands of the pilot. From fire, to equipment failure, to acts of terrorism, air travel can be fraught with danger. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for regulating airline and airport security. The FAA's goal is to prevent terrorism and the transport of hazardous items and substances . In order to do so, the FAA promulgates broad security regulations and recommendations requiring each airport to design safety programs in compliance with the regulations. Such programs may employ, among other techniques, the use of metal detectors, airport security personnel, and security training courses for airport employees. However, as the

    Extractions: Regarding the 4.2 Task Force Report The CT-43 families add the following comments to the final report of the 4.2 Task Force. These comments reflect the feelings and experiences the families have shared with the Task Force, but are excluded from the final report. We advocate for a meaningful disclosure statement, safer government aircraft, an impartial and unbiased crash investigations, and the right to sue for wrongful death. Disclosure Statement The CT-43 families strongly object to the "Statement of Rights and Benefits" as presented. Recommendation 4.2 from the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security report states as follows: " The families of civilians killed while traveling on government aircraft face the same traumas and challenges as those whose love ones were killed on commercial flights. However, the response to such disasters is covered under different laws and procedures. Those differences, and a clear statement regarding their rights and benefits in the event of an aviation disaster, should be provided to passengers on government aircraft prior to boarding. The Commission urges the DOT to work with NTSB, DOD and other agencies and family members to develop plans to accomplish that goal by September 1997 and to evaluate the need to revise existing laws and regulations governing the rights and benefits of civilians on government aircraft."

He specializes in traumatic event response and has provided care for people affected by a number of disasters, including Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and the crash of TWA Flight #800 off the coast of Long Island in 1996. Cramando also was a consultant on the Oklahoma City bombing. "What happened on September 11 is termed a disaster of human intention, which was brought about by purposeful acts of violence," he explains. "It affected people on so many different levels. Even as a mental health professional, it was hard to grasp that thousands of people were murdered in the span of one hour." Mobilizing the Caregivers Within 10 minutes of learning that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center Christopher Kosseff, president and chief executive officer of UBHC, contacted his senior management to discuss how UBHC should respond.

Why did air traffic control allow him to attempt such a landing? And if the control tower wasn't aware of the weather's deadly intensity, why didn't Doppler radar alert them to the danger? Why? Why?

    Extractions: Illustration by Adam McCauley let me put this as baldly as possible: I hate to fly. I dread it for weeks before I step on a plane helpless weeks I spend scanning weather charts, scouring the New York Times for tiny headlines about foreign crashes, probing my own life for ominous portents. Once I'm up in the air, barring a sunny and turbulence-free flight, I tend to stare out the window, bug-eyed and twitchy, until I'm back on God's green earth again. This is a pesky problem, and I've frequently sought help. I've popped pharmaceutically incorrect quantities of Xanax, Valium and Dramamine. I've bellied up to the bar beforehand to consume small oceans of red wine and beer, knocking back the occasional shot of Nyquil as a kind of in-flight boilermaker. I've flipped through shelves of (scary) self-help books that contain chapters on rituals, good-luck charms and "systematic desensitization." A few years ago, I felt my phobia so acutely that I hopped on a flight to Dallas to enroll in an airline disaster survival course called Traveling With Confidence Plus, a kind of Outward Bound for paranoids. I didn't do this because I plan to actually survive a crash someday. (I'd rather pop a cyanide pill while we're spiraling downward, thank you very much.) I went because I wanted to act out my worst fears and, ideally, slap them down to some kind of manageable level. In short, I wanted an exorcism.

Flight 191 remains the deadliest single plane disaster on U.S. soil to this day. The flight originated from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California . The aircraft was a Douglas DC-10-10 , identified as N110AA on that day. On takeoff from O'Hare the plane carried 258 passengers and 13 crew members. The captain was veteran Walter Lux, his first officer was James Dillard and the flight engineer was Alfred Udovich. At 15:02 CDT , the aircraft began its takeoff down Runway 32R (Right). Shortly before the takeoff rotation began, with 6,000 feet of runway covered, tower controllers witnessed the number one engine (left wing) separate from the aircraft and fly up and over the wing to crash onto the runway. The aircraft continued in a normal climb momentarily to around 350 feet (AGL), as fuel and leaking hydraulic fluid spewed in a vapor trail behind the plane. Such an incident is survivable in a DC-10, the shift in center of gravity and mean aerodynamic chord was within tolerances, and the aircraft could have landed safely if the engine loss had not caused other failures. However, in subsequent flight simulation testing, only pilots who were aware of Flight 191's specific problems were able to successfully recover the stall.
