Airbus faces manslaughter charges over Rio crash
This sets a new precedent re: the use of courts, if I'm not mistaken.

Expect someone, probably within the EU, to try do the same to the makers of military UAVs and piloted planes.
The case was filed by a French judge. Isn't Airbus partly owned by the French government?
