Walk away from near-certain death...and sue!

If you walked away from a near-certain death, unharmed, what would do? Spend more time with your kids? Volunteer at your church or community center? Stop and smell the roses every day?

More than a dozen passengers who were on US Airways flight 1549 are looking into a possible lawsuit.

The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) is reporting that a group of passengers on the flight that miraculously landed safely in the Hudson River soon after hitting birds after takeoff have been "exploring their rights" with an aviation accident law firm, Kreindler & Kreindler in New York. No lawsuit has yet been filed.
