Is this what the world is coming too?

I'm glad I was born when I was, because I did get to see America before it took the fall of no return.

Wow, mountain dew really is extreme.

And I don't see what the problem is, this is America, it is his right to sue anyone and everyone. I only see a problem with this situation if he wins.

Woman sues over rough landing

O'HARE | No one was injured, but 'that day changed my whole life,' she says

SEATTLE -- A woman has sued American Airlines, saying she was traumatized when the plane she was on ran off the runway at O'Hare.

In the lawsuit filed Tuesday, passenger Jewel Thomas said she has suffered severe mental and emotional problems because of the incident Sept. 22, 2008. American Flight 268, a Boeing 757, was flying nonstop from Seattle to New York when it made an emergency landing at O'Hare, skidding onto the grass next to the runway.

"That day changed my whole life -- it changed my whole world," Thomas said, adding: "This is one problem I can't solve."

The woman from Bellevue, Wash., said she is on unpaid disability from her job at Microsoft. Though an experienced world traveler, she said she is no longer able to fly and will sometimes "freak out" when she hears an airplane.

No physical injuries were reported among the 185 passengers or seven crew members, and the aircraft had little damage beyond its landing gear and several blown tires.

Thomas contended in her lawsuit that shortly after takeoff, the flight crew received multiple warnings about problems with the plane's electrical system. Following a reference handbook, the crew switched the plane's standby power for some systems to the main battery, although the handbook noted the battery could provide backup power for only 30 minutes.

Thomas' lawsuit alleges that the flight crew should have diverted sooner to another airport before the battery ran out and key systems were crippled. It accused American Airlines and the plane's two pilots of negligence and seeks unspecified damages. AP
