: Breaking Legal NewsFamily of victims sues over Marine jet crash in SD
By (Breaking Legal News)
The family of four people killed in the crash of a Marine Corps jet in a San Diego County neighborhood two years ago sued the federal government and Boeing Wednesday.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court by Dong Yun Yoon, whose wife, two daughters and mother-in-law were killed in the December 2008 crash that incinerated two homes and damaged others in University City.
The suit accuses the military and Boeing, the aircraft's maker, of negligence and seeks unspecified damages.
The military disciplined 13 members of the Marines and Navy after the crash, which was blamed on mechanical problems and a string of bad decisions that led the pilot to bypass a potentially safe landing at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado.
The suit claims the F-18 Hornet had "a history of warnings and system failures" related to its fuel system and never should have been cleared for takeoff.
