Delta EWR Flight Diverts to SYR, Replacement Bus Crashes
This happened a couple weeks ago, but I just read about it today.
An SLC-EWR flight diverted to Syracuse on June 28th due to storms in the NYC area...and the plane LEFT. Stranded passengers had the option of taking the 5 hour bus ride to Newark, or waiting 2 DAYS for a plane to pick them up. A dozen of those who opted for the bus ended up in the hospital...the bus crashed on I-80 in northeastern PA, killing the driver.

Holy dit Batman...
I'm assuming that Delta will claim that they are not liable for damages, though I wonder if that really is the case...

I'm sure they will be named in any lawsuits that a filed, although I assume they are hoping the bus company they hired has insurance that will cover any claims.
