All good points, the pilots are put in a bad position, if they don't bend/brake rules there would be lots of delays, turn arounds and lack of delivery. I assume in this situation the pilot made a judgement call based on his experience and got caught in some unexpected weather condition and crashed. I think that the point that everyone is bothered about in US at least is frivilous lawsuits. Everyone walked away, most damage they could have had was mental trama. Hard to judge. Awards depend on the quality of the lawyer. If no one was injured should they sue or consider it part of going to Belize. KGB confused
