American Air passenger says runaway beverage cart caused brain injury
An American Airlines plane flew to its destination rather than make an emergency landing after a runaway beverage cart struck a passenger's head during take-off, leaving him with a severe brain injury, according to a negligence lawsuit Thursday. A couple from Stanfordville, New York, are seeking at least US$10m in damages from American Airlines Group. The lawsuit comes at a time of increased focus on how airlines treat passengers. According to Thursday's complaint, an unmoored, fully stocked, 300-pound beverage cart struck the passenger in the head after it flew down the aisle on Flight 1941, April 28, 2016. Rather than land, the pilot flew on more than 2 hours to Charlotte, as a nurse and other passengers cared for Johnson because the cabin crew did not know how, the complaint said. <br/>
