Erie County has now filed suit in Federal Court against Colgan Air in a bid to recover costs involved in the response to the crash of Flight 3407 back in February 2009.
Accident investigators say new flight simulators could help correct the biggest killer in aviation: pilots who can't recover from out-of-control situations like the one that killed 50 people in a crash near Buffalo last year.
The FAA Reauthorization Bill goes to the Senate floor this week; and the families of Continental Flight 3407 are challenging the Senate to stand up for the flying public.
