Lawsuit Filed in Alabama Air Show Incident

According to the Huntsville Times, the family of three young children injured at the Huntsville, Alabama air show in June of 2008 have filed a personal injury lawsuit. One of the children, aged 6, suffered a head injury when tents at the air show toppled over in a severe thunderstorm. The others received cuts to the face. The child with the head injury is reportedly recuperating at home. An unrelated child was fatally injured in the incident. The personal injury lawsuit contends that air show organizers negligently failed to properly anchor the tents or to heed manufacturer's warnings that the tents were not supposed to be used as shelter in severe weather. The Huntsville Times reports that the lawsuit also accuses the defendants of not obtaining proper permits.
