OTTAWA -- The Transportation Safety Board's final report on the Air France crash in Toronto three years ago watered down how the lack of having an extended runway impacted both passenger injuries and damage to the plane, according to documents obtained by Canwest News Service.

Around $65,000 each. Under the circumstances, probably not unreasonable, for a Canadian lawsuit. In the US, this would certainly have been five times as much. How much to the lawyers get?

June 7 (Bloomberg) -- Air France-KLM won approval at Ontario’s highest court to settle claims over the crash of an Airbus SAS jet that overshot a runway in Toronto five years ago.

Under an agreement made public today, Air France will pay C$10 million ($9.5 million) plus interest, in exchange for a release that prevents any future lawsuits from those involved in the group suit.
