Stardate 20010919.1008 (On Screen): Despite my general feeling about Dan Gillmor, he brings up peripherally an interesting point regarding the airlines. What is going to happen to United and American when liability lawyers decide they're responsible for tens of billions of dollars of real damage in NYC last week? Let alone perhaps a trillion dollars in "punitive" damage and "pain and suffering" awards? Regardless of anything else, Congress is going to have to relieve them of liability or they are going to be destroyed. This country cannot do without both of those companies; airlines are too important a part of the economy for us to let someone sue them out of existence. (discuss)
