A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

FAA liable in Torrance Helicopter Crash

Once again, judges and juries have decided the value of a human life. Yet no one claims that the compensation encompasses the true value. Like Lady Justice herself holding the balance, with the life of Bailey on one side, and the weight of coin on the other, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper presided over the Torrance helicopter crash case after testimony from Robert Bailey's friends and family. The FAA was held responsible.
