Its so sad that these days people will sue each other over random crap hoping to get some money, like that dude who sued his dry cleaner for millions a way back for loosing his pair of pants, i mean seriously what the hell are these people thinking, do they think the courts have nothing better to do that deal with their shit ? People who make law suits like that should just get jail time for being idiots and wasting the courts time.
Are these people really that stupid, a flock of damn birds crash into the plane out of nowhere, how is that the companies fault, and the company is even gives them money and upgrades, and they have to be such pricks.
And what is up with this :
*"You're going to crash me into the water, and you're going to tell me all I get is an upgrade?" Antonio Sales told the New York Post.*
If hes too stupid to realize no one crashed him into the water, he should just go sue the birds that rammed the plane, or better yet, sue God for trying to kill him.

And its not like its a American thing to do something like this, im sure there are people all over the world that would do the same thing, its just that America is the only place where a law suit like that could probably pass.

TL:DR

You're right, the people at the airlines are being super greedy. They should have compensated the unfortunate victims much more.

Of course people suffered a very stressful situation, and they were affected by this landing. But they fail to realize, that there are situations in life when there's nobody's fault for your pain. There are many situations when things just happen. And nobody's guilty. So, why should a company pay them anything at all? Did the company neglect any safety rules or something? I don't think so. The people suffered a stressful situation, the company lost its airplane. So, why should company lose more than that?

I guess if I survive a plane crash that is not by the company's fault I would never think of any compensation. And whatever they offer is OK for me.

On the other hand I understand people are different and I also understand why they would want more money.

I wish I'd been on that flight, I would have got to be in a plane crash and got $8 grand

These people are lucky to be alive and are bitching about not enough compensation? Typical -_-

Lol this is just retarded. If it had actually been someone fucking up somehow (a tech doing a mistake on ground or whatever) a sue might have been in place. But a pack of fucking birds? If anything these people should have given their eternal thanks and might even consider giving their compensations to the pilots who saved their lives, but no they go on whining when the company is doing their best to make things better after this fucked up accident when they in fact dont owe them anything.

If i was involved in this, i'd be really, but really happy that i'm alive. It's like a second life for them. 99% of the plane crashes have no survivors.

After that, i would go and donate the 8k$ to someone who's in a real need.

Some people simply don't understand that life can't be bought with money so it really can't be evaluated in money.

er i'm with the "eh typical americans..." people here... i wouldn't give a toss about personal compensation, instead (if i got my way) i'd demand a super-scale investigation / investment in improving safety / something along those lines. people in article sound pathetic as fuck to me. feel free to explain otherwise- no1 seems to have done this yet

Yeah, because they all knew they were going to land safely, right? Would be nice to see you on that flight. I'm sure you'd think differently.

i'd personally want more than $8000 dollars and upgrades for a year. I wouldn't fly for over a year if this happened to me, and until it happens to you, you will not know how traumatic something like this actually is.

How many people on this board have actually been in a crash quite like the one last month. Lets not forget they crashed into a freezing hudson river, it's not like their luggage came out of the plane all perfect. Though it was the birds fault you are not going to take birds to court...

I think they are being a bit rediculous. They are forgetting it was that airlines pilot that saved all their lives by being amazing and taking the plane down for a perfect landing in the water. Thank the stars that you are alive and get on with your lives.

So lets say a bird crashes into your windshield when your driving your car, and you drive out of the rode and into a river and survive, your gonna go around suing the people who sold you the car or someone else just cuz you are having troubles from it afterward?? That could be traumatic also but you cant go around demanding money just because your life dont run perfect, shit happens in life and its dangerous to live.

man you're so hardcore!
you must laugh in the face of danger!

I guarantee you would be at least a little "traumatized" if your plane ended up landing in a river after engine failure. And you would be upset at the company or airport or whoever's job it is to not realize that launching two planes so close would leave the pilot no room to maneuver when a big flock of migrating geese come through.

They are not suing the pilot, they are suing the airlines, which is totally warranted. It may not have been their fault, but the airlines guarantee a safe flight and they guarantee your arrival. If it was actually some plot to bring the plane down, they would sue to get their asses in jail and basically own the airlines, but they just want more compensation for putting their lives at risk, thats sometimes even enough to kill someone or leave them fucked up for a real long time.

If you were in a bus, you would sue the company from where you bought the ticket. If you are alone on your own car, theres no one to sue. As long as it was a bird that caused the accident and it was an isolated accident.

wtf kind of fucked up mentality is that? It would not be the bus companies fault a fucking bird flies into the bus... They should put up "unforeseen shit happens disclaimers" and all of you who expects money if something crazy happens can start walking around if you aint happy with it. You cant expect compensation for unforeseen things none have control over...

edit : From the company im talking about, compensation from insurance companies or the government if you are serious injured is something else.

Ask compensation from bird's relative...

buuuuut the airline didnt put their lives at risk? in fact the airline employee actually saved their lives, which were put at risk by something outside anyones control.
