Turkish Airline victims go to court
Friday 17 April 2009
Three survivors of February's plane crash near Schiphol airport have begun legal action against Boeing and Turkish Airlines in Chicago, news agency ANP reports on Friday.
Lawyers Manuel von Ribbeck and Mide Eidson hope the court will find out what went wrong on the Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul, which crashed shortly before landing, killing nine people. Four of the victims were US citizens, some of whom worked for Boeing.
The parents of one of the victims are also involved in the case, ANP said.
The initial report by accident investigators said that a faulty altitude meter probably caused the crash.

Friday: Cold and sunny everywhere. Heavy frost at night. Similar Saturday but thaw possible Sunday
I find it irresponsible journalism to name the article "Turkish Airline victims". They may be "victims of a Turkish Airline crash", but it is a very different thing than: "victims of Turkish Airline". (btw, the company is called Turkish Airlines.)
