The issue of staffing is not just potential fraud. The DCA has had many near misses over the past few decades, leading some pilots to call airspace above the capital’s airport “an incident waiting to happen.”

Potential lawsuits on behalf of other victims can see many factors during play, Regan told the caller. Among the factors in the case are emotional damage, lost wages from families who supported their relatives, and burial and funeral costs.

The illegal death lawsuit against the US government will not proceed to a ju trial and will be heard directly by a federal court judge.
