| quote: | Widow of Austin plane crash victim sues pilot's wife
The widow of an Internal Revenue Service employee killed when a disgruntled taxpayer flew his plane into a seven-story building in Austin, Texas, last week is suing the pilot's wife, according to court documents.
Valerie Hunter, the wife of Vernon Hunter, is accusing Sheryl Stack, wife of Andrew Joseph "Joe" Stack III, of negligence, alleging she she knew or should have known that her husband was a threat to others and, thus, could have prevented the attack, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Travis County District Court.
"Stack was threatened enough by Joseph Stack that she took her daughter and stayed at a hotel the night before the plane crash. [She] owed a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid a foreseeable risk of injury to others including [Vernon Hunter]," the suit says.
The lawsuit also seeks to bar the release of Vernon Hunter's autopsy report, saying that, if made public, it would cause Hunter's family to suffer "severe and irreparable emotional distress."
Hunter was killed February 18 when, authorities say, Stack flew his Piper Cherokee PA-28 into a northwest Austin building that housed nearly 200 IRS employees.

"Disgruntled"
Such an journalistic understatement considering the context of what he did, if I was to say I was 'disgruntled' I'd be slightly discontented and unhappy about something. Some mad american gets disgruntled and they fly a plane into a building... I mean damn, what would he have done if he was just vein popping, teeth gnashing psychotically deranged?
:eek: |

| how does filing this suit make her stupid? she has a pretty good chance of winning a lot of money from a very wealthy lady who could be held liable for her husband's death. only a trial will tell if how much she knew beforehand. |

Yes, greed justifies absurd, trivial lawsuits. |

Buildings only have to be designed based on their respective codes in that location. If they added the "build to withstand an airplane crash" code then I would understand why to sue the building as it did not withstand it.
Lady reminds me of a MLB baseball players dad who sued the restaurant who served him all the way to the tow-truck driver that was "IN THE WAY" helping someone at the time while his son drove drunk into him. He finally dropped it but what a ridiculous suit in that case. :wtf: |

the discovery of facts justifies the lawsuit, it's your cynical attitude that presumes that this an absurd lawsuit driven by greed. i find it sad that you're so ready to judge a woman you know nothing about. anyway how does any of this make her a stupid woman again? |

Wow you edited that post like four times. She's about as intelligent as I am cynical. I wasn't implying she was not sincere in her lawsuit, although I see little point in it outside monetary gain. I was pointing out how you said she could win a lot of money, which you identified as the clear advantage to filing the suit. |
