The Los Angeles Times is reporting that a Chicago firm has filed lawsuit papers against Boeing on behalf of 83 survivors of the deadly July 6 Asiana Airlines crash:

The firm said information released so far on the investigation appeared to show “mechanical malfunction of the auto-throttle” may have caused the crash of the Boeing 777, which killed three passengers and injured more than 180. The lawsuit will also question whether evacuation slides inflating inward and seat belts trapping passengers furthered injuries, according to the statement.

The survivors are understandably still reeling from their terrifying ordeal, but many Twitterers feel that a lawsuit against Boeing is the wrong approach:
