Hudson Crash Passengers Get No Insurance Money

All of the passengers had a great feeling, and no doubt, the US Airways plane was staffed by a wonderfully trained and experienced crew. Everybody on the plane survived, and what could have been another airline tragedy turned into a wonderful story of survival and redemption.
But there were still losses on all sides. Passengers did endure injuries and stress, and they lost their belongings. Many passengers needed to seek treatment for stress afterwards. But the insurer, AIG, claims that since the airplane was so well staffed with a great pilot and crew, that the airline has no liability – no fault. Instead of crashing or drowning everybody on the plane, the people survived.

Well, that is great news indeed. And all passsengers did get a check for $5,000 from the airline to help them with their immediate concerns after the ordeal. But does their responsibility end there?
Some passengers who could domcument physical losses, like laptops and cell phones, did get another check. These checks were for $5k – $10k. Some passengers also got some therapy paid for – up to 3 whole sessions, and were told to seek coverage from their own health insurance companies. Is this enough? The passengers and their representatives don’t think so, but AIG continues to stonewalls.
And the passengers seem reluctant to push it. Survivor guilt? Maybe – after all, they did walk away with their lives.
