9/11 lawsuit blames United Airlines
A lawsuit filed in a federal court here has pointed figures at United Airlines for security failures during the 9/11 attacks, saying the five terrorists who boarded the flight from Boston were cleared by a staff who could not speak or understand English and did not even know who Osama bin Laden was.
The documents, revealing details not previously made public, were filed in federal district court in Manhattan by lawyers on behalf of the family of Mark Bavis, who was on United Flight 175 that crashed into the World Trade Centre.
The lawsuit is the only remaining wrongful-death lawsuit out of the 100 filed after the attacks.
The case against United and security firm Huntleigh USA will go on trial in November.
