All I can say is Wow, bloody nose, and a safe landing from a horrible situation, and he doesn't know how much emotional distress he has suffered?
Uhmm...I'd say if he was a man, He would thank his blessings that all he got was a bloody nose, and survived what may have been a pretty tragic situation. I guess instead he is going to crawl into a corner in the fetal position and have small tremors and convulsions, hoping to get his million dollar payout. I would hope any judge would throw it out at the first sight.
After reading the full article, it's nice to hear there are some decent minded individuals. Look at the situation as it is, and are thankful they are alive.
Now I'll be the first, to say that if there was a mechanical reason, out of negligence that caused this aircraft to loose power to both engines, that these people should be compensated.
BUT if the power loss is completely due to "an act of god" I.E. who's gonna control a flock of birds???? (and don't give me crap that the pilots should have seen them and swerved, IT AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN, NOR IS IT POSSIBLE, OR EXPECTED) Then those passengers have to be expected to take some of the burden of risk within themselves. For godsakes your climbing into an aluminum tube, which your going to climb 7 miles above the earth and travel at .80 the speed of sound. I'm sorry, crap happens, and you deal with it.

I never thought the man was THAT ignorant.
