Well it had to happen, instead of being grateful they were on a flight with the most experienced crew they could hope for and basically walked away from what in any other circumstance would have been catastrophic someone is going to file lawsuits. I'd venture to say they won't be successful, but all it takes is a lawyer willing to file the claim ....and then hope to settle out of court. I hope US airways holds firm, cover any medical that is a direct result of the landing, replace lost belongings, which in MOST cases I'd say $5,000 should do unless it was special circumstances and someone had some high end camera or electronics in their luggage ..and they can't lie about it because most of the luggage was recovered, it's ruined but they have it.
