I had never heard of that one. What interested me was the judge's decision. It reflects the sad truth which you so eloquently expressed in your most recent post: "shit happens." In today's world, every lawyer hungry for billable hours can find a client willing to file suit against anyone - that is, if they're not already doing it themselves - to press the issue of "who's to blame?" Let a meteorite land in the middle of times square, and a thousand lawyers would flood the court dockets with suits against the FAA, NASA, and the Man in the Moon for not warning them of the potential threat in time, as well as the fortune tellers who told you to go see "Cats" today. Sometimes stuff just happens.
