#3 If I had been on the plane there is no way I would sue.

$5K just about would make up for the contents of my suitcase and briefcase, assuming my laptop was in there, along with a hotel for a couple nights.

I would be alive and unharmed. I would be thankful to Captain Sullenberger and that great flight crew. I would be thankful to the ferry boat crews. I would be thankful to my fellow passengers for everyone keeping their cool and looking after each other. I would be thankful to Airbus for building a good plane.

And I wouldn't sue a soul.
