So can Asiana survive the coming law suits?

[malaise]

Spare a thought for the parents of those two Chinese sixteen year old girls who died.
I'm betting they were from one child families

1. China: State Supported Enterprize - What Lawsuits ?

The Chinese Communist Government will step in and arbitrate settelments

2. Easily,

it's a part of the Kumho chaebol. I knew an American who served as corporate counsel for the Asiana division back in the early 2000s before he moved back here. Kumho is HUGE.

3. Yes, they probably could

Under which jurisdiction would be the first questions since you have Americans, Koreans, and Chinese? I doubt it would be in China. The accident happened in the US and Asiana has offices here, so it would make sense it would happen in California.

Before all that they need to figure out what caused the crash. My inclinations are on pilot error or problems with the aircraft.

4. On UK tv news

they've mentioned that an issue has already come to light about the legality of the runway which for whatever reason is 150 meters too short - entry should be 300 metres. There must be reason this has been mentioned.

5. Oops

The lawyers already working overtime

6. So horrible

Their deaths, with the bodies tossed from the plane. Sending their girls to the USA for a day camp, and they never make it. Its so beyond sad.

7. How did that happen

Really frightening

8. The local news said..

That one girl was found on the tarmac, and the other just under the tail section. OMG...the horror of those last few seconds of their life.

9. I've read that they had the rear seats on the plane

where the fuselage broke.
