10. I don't have a link but it was a recent ruling, within a few days
Many families, over 1,000, have actually not yet collected their settlements because to collect their settlements would mean that they would have to sign an agreement not to sue their airlines involved. Many people -- and I agree with them -- obviously feel it is more important to learn more about the poor security practices by the airlines than it is to just cash in quickly.

I listened to the Cleveland traffic controller's tape from Flight 93. The hijacker clearly states he has a bomb. And there is evidence that the passengers attacked the hijackers and that "somehow" the plane came apart in the air, instead of after impacting the ground. It is a HUGE violation of security to allow an entire bomb aboard an aircraft.

This is not about box cutters. There is no proof that these hijackers were caused by box cutters. People called on their cell phones from various flights reporting such items as knives, a gun, and a bomb. We are talking about MASSIVE security failures by United Airlines and American Airlines.

When I re-discover the link, I'll try to remember to return and post it.

We need to support these families in their efforts to litigate, because we need a discovery process to find out more about how these hijackings actually occurred.
