In a German TV interview, Baum indicated that a threat to sue Air France, the plane's operator, in U.S. courts would lead to a large settlement by European standards.
Other steps are being taken to minimize conditions that might lead to overheating and discharge of gases, but the nightmare scenario of fire on a plane would be eliminated entirely.
The (optimistic in my view) master plan figures for 2018 would lead (based on 189 seat jets operating at 80% capacity, with a 16 hour opening) to a plane landing every 48 minutes.
Police officers, the UK's Angolan community and residents of a west London street where a stowaway fell to his death from a plane are hoping a computerised image of the man's face and a photo of his tattoo will lead to his identification.
