that's one beautiful cat.

 

"A federal safety panel attributed the accident to pilot error but never concluded whether it was Lidle or Stanger who allegedly misjudged a turn during their sightseeing trip."

So how the hell can you sue his estate if he may not be liable for the crash? Its impossible to know.

"rejected $50 million in other claims."

Wow. remind me never to crash my plane into any apartment on the upper east side.
