    You shouldn’t have to, but in this case they did. So you’re advice is to just sit around and be sexually assaulted in the hopes that your trauma will be appeased by maybe winning a lawsuit against a mega-corps?

        Actually you did say that no one is responsible except the airline.

        And that’s just nonsense.

        Everyone who lets these things happen is responsible.

          Again, that’s not what I said. The context was “from a legal standpoint”, which is still accurate regardless of how you feel about it.

            Well, your comment was from a legal point. Everyone else was talking about morality.

            And these do clash in this case.

            I agree btw that they should ‘sue the shit out of the airline’.

            There’s something called “Unterlassene Hilfeleistung” here in Germany, which means that you can be sued and will be accused of choosing not to take action in helping if you’re a bystander and don’t help :) so it’s a bit of a different view of things and what is legal and what is not legal here. I don’t know if that’s the case in the US… Or wherever you’re located.
