Default 1999 Arlington crash jury award

A cool thing you might not know: The NTSB reports are not
admissable in a brawl like this. Can't cross examine the
NTSB, so they are out. Leaves the plantiff to make
up anything they can sell to the jury.

Gotta remember, the goal isn't to find the truth.

This one really has me bothered: 1999 NWEAA Arlington Fly-in, pilot in RV-6
rushes departure at high angle of attack, crashes, dies in the ensuing fire.
His survivors sue EAA and NWEAA claiming the fire crews didn't get there
soon enough. The stated claims don't even agree with the NTSB report.

If this award stands, things are worse than I thought.
