The man verbally and sexually harassed the plaintiffs, a mother and her 16-year-old daughter, on a nine-hour flight from JFK Airport to Athens, Greece last year, according to the Tuesday filing, which accuses the airline of gross negligence.

    Again, that’s not what I said. The context was “from a legal standpoint”, which is still accurate regardless of how you feel about it.

      Well, your comment was from a legal point. Everyone else was talking about morality.

      And these do clash in this case.

      I agree btw that they should ‘sue the shit out of the airline’.

      There’s something called “Unterlassene Hilfeleistung” here in Germany, which means that you can be sued and will be accused of choosing not to take action in helping if you’re a bystander and don’t help :) so it’s a bit of a different view of things and what is legal and what is not legal here. I don’t know if that’s the case in the US… Or wherever you’re located.
