A San Francisco firefighter accused of accidentally running over a passenger thrown from the wreckage of an Asiana Airlines flight that crashed at San Francisco International Airport filed a lawsuit Friday against the San Francisco Fire Department.

How quickly has the World forgotten that all of these deaths are the result of the flight crew's inability to fly a visual approach on the most beautiful of days?
Don't know that anyone has. That just isn't what the article's about.
You have a point. I just think at the very minimum every article referencing this accident should finish with "Of course, we wouldn't be talking about any of this if the two Asiana captains and one first officer could combine their skills to fly a visual approach". Maybe I can file a lawsuit to require that.
LOL, as you are very correct. No crash, no deaths, no lawsuit. My work here is done.
why doesn't she sue the damn media, too? everyone jumped in on this...she was doing her job..her life at risk... condemned before the facts were in I hate lawyers....until you need one...
A Poster Girl for "loser pays".
Well, she stole my word "scapegoat". Could it be the higher-ups are trying to hang her to save their own butts? Nah!
The sad part is she will never live it down and always be branded by that action right or wrong. I think from what was shown on video there was a failure of command. The one thing that is unable to be shown, the dynamics of the situation live. Having been working at accident scenes I know first hand how it is. I feel for her as now her name forever is in print.
yep
Naw....she will want to double or triple dip into the taxpayer trough. Pension plus disability (for hurt feelings) and anything she and her ambulance chasing lawyers can extract from an insurance policy (although SF is probably self-insured).
SF Fire has had a rough history expanding diversity within the ranks.

Seems many in SF think in terms of racial, ethnic or status group membership, instead of individual merit and responsibility. Both in promotional decisions as well as a defense against findings of incompetence or fraudulent activity.
The firefighter pursuing this suite in neither unique in using her group membership as an excuse, nor the first to sue the department using such group think as a weapon to assault the very department that age them a chance.

Even though she seems to be the scapegoat, I sense the real reason is that she sees the big payout...
