What I find wierd though is, it has been filed by a US Attorney in a US Court as, under US Law, they can get more compensation.
Quote:
"One thing about US law which is interesting is that you can recover against these manufacturers for psychological injuries," he said.
"Everyone on that plane has experienced some type of trauma. Everybody who has ever flown before knows the feeling in the pit of your stomach when you have turbulence.
"Now think about a plane going into a dive twice, with people flying up into the air, hitting their heads on the overhead bins, carts flying around, the debris.
"Just an absolute state of panic and terror in that aircraft."
Mr Wisner says the statute of limitations in the US is about to expire on the second anniversary on October 7 and after that people will not be able to join the class action.
He says passengers from Australia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Great Britain are all involved in the action.
He says Airbus wants the case to be heard in Australia, where the law would not allow people to claim anywhere near as much as they can under US law.
