Similar Stories to British Airways Passengers Who Fled Plane Fire File Lawsuit on Bing News

The firm's partner James Healy-Pratt noted in a statement that the passengers don't begrudge British Airways for the incident, saying "the pilots and cabin crew performed heroically in guiding the aircraft to an emergency stop," and evacuating everyone on board. The lawsuit claims the plane was "defective and unreasonably dangerous," the companies knew the parts were prone to "fracture and failure," and that GE Aviation lobbied against more stringent inspections of the engines before the fire. The law firm's statement announcing the lawsuit notes a Federal Aviation Administration directive from 2011 that warned of cracks in weld joints of compressor fan spools in similar engines, but GE Aviation has said the directive didn't apply to the engine that burst into flames because it had different parts and an arrangement.
