Biz, U.S.: Hudson crash survivors had insurance from … AIG. Oh God.
- I wish I had a hammer to get them to do the right thing. They’re riding a wave of feel-good opinion about how well the flight crew handled the bird strike.
- Andrew J. Maloney • A partner the Kreindler & Kreindler law firm, on AIG’s bailing out of insurance claims for victims of US Airways Flight 1549, which Capt. Sully saved by landing in the Hudson River in New York, sure, but which meant some very tangible losses of stuff for passengers, along with injuries. And knowing that the public opinion is that everyone got off the plane unscathed, they’re taking advantage of this to not pay for damages. Jerks. • source
