Thanks for the link Dolphin.
Relatives of this person are not good objective witnesses as a general rule because of their emotional connection to the deceased/injured and also because of the prospect of a financial settlement.
I do not wish the deceased ill and God rest her soul, but since we are talking about accountability here let's just be honest about the fact that the head shots of her on the news indicate she was morbidly obese. Add in existing medical conditions and she was a ticking time bomb. Unluckily for the airline, the bomb went off a few thousand feet in the air.
It makes sense that a person in this medical condition died.
It does not make sense that a plane full of passengers and a trained crew failed to do all they reasonably could in the circumstances.
My bet is that there will be a decent sized settlement out of court. It will all be about the airline deciding whether the cost of settling now will outweigh the cost of lost business and general ill will in the long run among the general public. It will have nothing to do with actual culpability.
