Re Superman’s involvement in false injury claims on Philadelphia bus: Captain America would never have participated in that.
@Mike: Is this a right-wing beef about illegal aliens?
John Burgess: I believe Supe was naturalized.
I don’t buy the NTSB’s cause for the helicopter crash. I can think of at least two other ways for it to have happened and none of them could be confirmed either. Wind shear or clear air turbulence is one and a sudden movement of the cyclic control, which controls the angle of the rotor disc plane. Neither of which would be Eurocopter’s fault.
@Mike: Show me his passport! 🙂
Jim: which means Eurocopter wouldn’t be liable.
Clearly not the result that the lawyer looking to sue some one could come to.
