Liability Risk and Insurance
Airlines liable for not preventing hijacks
A lawyer for some of the families of victims of 11 September has said in a hearing that American Airlines and United Airlines
should be held liable for the attacks because they did not stop hijackers from entering the cockpits of the planes. The hearing
is to decide whether the claims can go ahead. The airlines and other defendants want the action dismissed because they had
followed government safety measures, and the attacks were unforeseeable.
