I second trish. I was in a plane that went topsy turvy during a storm. It was a DC-10. Scary as hell. Of course, not as traumatic as Hudson River rescue.

Amazing some people never satisfied. Not matter what. I would say lope off his nose and then give the five thousand to sew it back on. He can than feel whole again.

I’d have been kissing the ground as soon as I hit dry land, and wouldn’t have considered suing anybody.

$5,000 on top of replacing lost or destroyed items would seem fair to me.

My first reaction was – whiner! He should be grateful that he’s still alive.

I can understand they be compensated for their lost belongings but any more than that is silly in my opinion.

If anyone else was flying that plane, I dare say, no one would be there to collect or complain!

I agree with Naqamal. They should be thankful they had such a skillful pilot. It could have been so much worse. $5000 is a lot of money. Why not be thankful for it.

Those whiny little babies should take the $5000 payout and send it straight to the Pilot that saved all their lives.

Or, alternatively, buy a shotgun and some bird shot, and go Geese hunting. That’s what I’d do – I’d get back at those Geese by eating one of their cousins for Dinner.
