The co-pilot of an airplane that crashed nearly two years ago in Montrose, West Virginia, has filed a negligence lawsuit against the manufacturer of the aircraft, its owner, and the charter company.
Eric Sloan Wicksell is one of three survivors of a fatal plane crash that happened during takeoff on November 28, 2004. In May, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that icing on the wings of the twin-engine Canadair jet caused the crash.
The lawsuit claims that the aircraft was defective, citing inadequate operating and training manuals that failed to the plane''s vulnerability to dangerous icing. Among the defendants named in the suit are Bombardier Corp. and Hop-A-Jet, Inc.
The two other survivors of the crash include NBC sports executive Dick Ebersol and his son Charlie. Ebersol''s youngest son, Teddy, 14, died in the crash along with pilot Luis Polanco-Espaillat and flight attendant Warren Richardson III.
