A California couple is taking legal action against JetBlue, saying a block of ice that fell off one of the airline's planes crashed through the roof of their home and caused hundreds of thousands in damage.
Inglewood isn’t exactly Palm Springs or Malibu. I suspect they bought their house knowing full well the proximity of LAX just W of where they live. I’m sorta rooting for Jet Blue on this.
I had a piece of engine cowling from a brand new C-17 fall in my backyard, called the air base & they didn't know it had fallen off. Guy came & got it & gave me information for my lawyer, asked him why would I need a lawyer & he said everybody sues. I didn't.
I think they're suing the wrong airline. The ice fell off an airplane that was about to land after having spent hours at high altitude allowing the ice to accumulate. There just isn't enough time between takeoff at LAX to accumulate ice even if the temperature was below freezing. Given that it's California where feelings trump logic and reason, they'll probably win. Al_in_Ottawa
They don't call it JetBlue for shits and giggles. There's a reason they call the poor bastards that dump the aircraft's waste "Smurfs and old blue arms."
So this is the reason why they are pissed off.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, property values scale to probablity of falling frozen sewage. Location, location, location!
DeleteTellin' ya, under Trump ICE is everywhere.
ReplyDeleteShould have got AmFam insurance with that floating roof.
