Aero-News Quote Of The Day (11.13.05)

Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"From the time that plane was in trouble, the pilot knew it. He knew it but he didn't know what to do because Cessna hadn't warned him. And make no mistake, you saw the size of that plane. The passengers knew it was in trouble too."

Source: Attorney Christina Weidner-Tafs, who is representing the families of two of the ten victims of an October 2001 accident in Dillingham, AK in a lawsuit against Cessna. The plantiffs allege the Caravan involved in the accident had a structural defect that caused it to go down, as well as that the manufacturer failed to alert pilots to special procedures with the Caravan in icing conditions. Cessna maintains the pilot's failure to detect ice on the upper surface of the Caravan's wing was a primary factor in the accident -- a contention backed up by the NTSB Probable Cause report on the mishap.
