Re: phoenix helicopter crash - death liability?
think of it this way. suppose the guy had been doing something dumb, violating a minor ordinance in his yard and attracting attention to himself, and the news choppers had crashed while covering that. would he still be liable? say, the cops are responding to a domestic disturbance because some guy is out on his porch in a mumu playing prince songs and humping a teddy bear. is it his fault if a news chopper crashes while covering him? what if a passer-by trips and cracks his head open while watching? is there any difference between those cases and this one?
