"Crash Leaves Lufthansa Wide Open to U.S. Litigation
Sheri Qualters, The

Deutsche Lufthansa
A.G. could face wrongful death claims in the United States by the families of
the three Americans reported killed in the Germanwings jetliner crash in the
French Alps on Tuesday, according to aviation attorneys tracking developments.
French authorities reported that voice recorder evidence indicates co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane. The disaster killed all 150 people on board.
The families of the Americans can almost certainly file claims in U.S. courts under the controlling international air transport treaty, said Mary Schiavo, a leader of the aviation team at Mount Pleasant, S.C.-based Motley Rice. Schiavo has represented passengers and crew in major U.S. air crashes.
"They can bring a case in the U.S. and they should. The U.S. is a much better forum than France or Germany,” Schiavo said.
She cited the Montreal Convention, an international treaty that governs air passengers, baggage, cargo and disasters. The treaty allows passengers to bring claims in various forums—where they bought their tickets, their planned final destination and the airline’s headquarters, Schiavo said.
Airlines defending cases in different countries following a crash will often try to get the claims consolidated, and “they’re successful at least half of the time,” Schiavo said.
If claims survive that round, the next question is whether the crash falls under the Montreal Convention's caps on liability for accidents. At least in the United States, the definition of an accident under the convention has been interpreted “to mean any unexpected or unusual event," said Justin Green, a New York partner at Kreindler & Kreindler. He represented families of passengers and crew and people inside the World Trade Center towers during the Sept. 11, 2001, attack.
"In order to enjoy that limit, the airline has to prove that it was without fault,” Green said.
Ultimately, Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, would have to show it was not negligent in hiring or screening Lubitz or allowing him to be alone in the cockpit, Green said. U.S. airlines, for example, have rules against leaving one person in a cockpit. “That leads me to think the airline is not going to meet its burden of proving that it was without fault," Green said.
According to news accounts, Lubitz interrupted his pilot training because of depression. If true, that could play into any court case, Schiavo said. "That’s going to be an issue that people are going to want to know the answer to," she said.
The facts, once they're clear, could support wrongful death or negligence claims but a settlement is the most likely outcome, said Daniel Suleiman, special counsel to Washington’s Covington & Burling. Suleiman was Asiana Airlines Inc.’s lead litigator in the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation of that airline’s July 2013 crash at San Francisco International Airport."
"Andreas Lubitz Accelerated Germanwings Plane Into Mountain, Investigators Say By Ben Mathis-Lilley The Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 data recorder recovered Thursday indicates that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz used the plane's autopilot system to accelerate toward the ground before the craft crashed into a mountain, .. The flight data is only the latest in the many pieces of [honeypot] evidence that suggest the crash was a premeditated act of mass murder/suicide committed by Lubitz, from his refusal (captured on tape) to let the flight's pilot back into the cockpit to his past history of mental issues to the queries about cockpit security found on a tablet device in his home."

"The Pentagon Renovation Program or PENREN was a long-term project by the United States Department of Defense to perform a complete slab-to-slab renovation of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The program began in the 1990s, and was completed in June 2011.[1][2] … The Defense Authorization Act of 1991 transferred control of the Pentagon Reservation from the General Services Administration to the Department of Defense, and established the Pentagon Reservation Maintenance Revolving Fund, designed to fund Pentagon renovations. This move enabled the Secretary of Defense to determine rent rates for Pentagon tenants to help fund the renovation.[3]"

"Hillary wiped her server clean: As NBC’s Kristen Welker
reported over the weekend, the top Republican investigating the 2012 Benghazi
attack, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), revealed that Hillary Clinton had wiped her
server clean of her emails. "Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, said Gowdy was
looking in the wrong place," the AP says. "In a six-page letter released late
Friday, Kendall said Clinton had turned over to the State Department all
work-related emails sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state
from 2009 to 2013. ‘The Department of State is therefore in possession of all
Secretary Clinton's work-related emails from the (personal email) account,' Kendall
wrote." Here's the "Meet the Press" discussion over the Clinton emails."

"AirAsia Flight QZ8501: Mysterious Chinese Man Predicted [Black Hand] Disappearance
Two Weeks Ago By Gopi Chandra Kharel December 29, 2014 13:18 IST In an eerie
blog post about two weeks ago, a mysterious Chinese man had warned that
an AirAsia plane was going to disappear or meet a tragic
end. And about a fortnight later, AirAisa flight QZ8501 disappeared from the
air traffic control radar system on the morning of 27 December. The post has gone viral on social media and discussion forums such as Reddit, with people reacting in astonishment
on how the person could have predicted it. The man behind the post apparently
explains that the same people who brought down MH370 were going to attack
another Malaysian airlines flight or an AirAsiaplane. The post alleges
that an organisation called "The International Black Hand" is behind
the disappearance of the airplanes. Black Hand is the term that is understood
to be a metaphor for the shadowy organisation that does its work behind the
scenes.. "Black Hand hijacked and shot down MH370 and MH17. This has pretty
much killed the 6th largest airline -- Malaysian airline," the post
read, according to a loose translation by a Reddit member…"
"From the early days of the Republic, Congress and the federal courts grappled with the government’s rights to own or use patents it issued. Courts rejected the British “Crown Rights” rule that allowed the sovereign to practice whatever patents it issued. Instead, the federal government was conceptualized as a legal person on par with any other persons with regard to issued patents. But, this simple rule presented challenges as complexities arose in three intertwined patent rights scenarios. The first involved inventions by government employees. The second revolved around government and government contractor use of patents held by private citizens. And the third involved inventions by federal contractors and their employees arising under federal funding."
