Ferris Wheels Aren't Supposed To Be Thrill Rides
-
It's been eight years since a small plane crashed into a Ferris wheel at a town carnival in Australia, but now the resultant lawsuits are in court and there's video from someone on the wheel screaming "Oh God, it's going to crash, it's going to crash, it's going to crash." And the suits: A rider is suing the town council and the pilot for psychological problems, the pilot is suing the council for not closing the nearby airstrip and his PTSD (he was not physically injured), and.... well, it's a festival of litigation, and you might argue that the pilot could have and should have seen the Ferris wheel before he plowed into it, or that the council could not have foreseen a crash like that. And if you'd think that, you are not a personal injury lawyer. (AAP via Sydney Morning Herald)
