I'm all for holding negligent companies and individuals responsible
under the legal system. However, attempting to shift blame to a
runway lighting company or contractor who had absolutely ZERO honest
liability in this situation, is entirely frivolous. The accident was
caused by the mistakes of the flight crew, and inasmuch as that
liability is shared, by the company that employed them.


This is why we have a legal system to assign liability where it belongs.
Um...no, Gig!

We have a legal system to find deep pockets; we (ostensibly) have a Justice
system to assign liability.

Just thought I'd clear that up! :~)
