The family of a victim from the January 29th fatal collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter, which killed 67, sued the airline, its subsidiary PSA Airlines, and the U.S. government. The lawsuit alleges the airlines manipulated arrival rates, compromising safety, while the Army and FAA failed to prevent the crash. The suit claims negligence by all parties involved, citing insufficient altitude by the helicopter and failure to issue safety alerts. American Airlines denies responsibility, highlighting its safety record, while the FAA and Army haven't yet commented.
