http://www.baumhedlundlaw.com. After the attacks of September 11, air travel took a huge plunge causing some airlines to go bankrupt. One airline carrier shut down leaving its 1700 employees out of work. Other changes in travel included no curbside check-in, stricter luggage requirements and longer lines at security. However more drastic changes were on the way from the FAA including banning the selling or use of knives in airports, as well as armed marshals on every commercial flight. Aviation attorney Paul Hedlund added that other changes needed to be made as well, as the cockpit doors protecting pilots are a joke.
http://www.baumhedlundlaw.com/train2_press/chatsworth_train_collision.php - Mass disaster attorney Paul Hedlund spoke with KTLA Los Angeles news anchors regarding the September 12, 2008 Chatsworth, California Metrolink disaster. His law firm is currently representing several clients in wrongful death and personal injury claims for passengers from that train crash and more than a dozen passengers from the 2005 Metrolink Glendale derailment. Mr. Hedlund discusses Metrolink's liability in this case as well as Positive Train Control systems and other technology to prevent tragedies like this from happening in the future. He also mentions that currently there is no audible signal that sounds when an engineer passes a red light, unlike his own experience as a mechanical engineer where every critical system had an audible alarm. The NTSB adds that there is no excuse as to why we do not have Positive Train Control systems in effect today.
http://www.airplanecrash-lawyer.com/ - Two days after the Queens, New York crash of American Airlines Flight 587 into Belle Harbor, Channel 9 KCAL News in Los Angeles interviewed airline disaster attorney Paul Hedlund about the NTSB's (National Transportation Safety Board) investigation into the possibility of wake turbulence causing this airline crash, just two months after September 11, 2001.
Mr. Hedlund describes wake turbulence as, "round swirls of air that come off the ends of the wings". It occurs when planes take off from the same runway in a short period of time. Reports say that AA Flight 587 took off just under two minutes after another jumbo jet, which is against FAA regulations. All 260 people aboard the Airbus A300 were killed along with five other people on the ground.
The airline disaster law firm of Baum Hedlund represented seven victims from this accident.
