A lawsuit filed by the family of one of the victims of a Comair jet crash that killed 49 people on Aug. 27 says many victims might have survived if the plane had not burst into flames. The suit has been amended to add manufacturer Bombardier Inc. and Comair's parent company, Delta Airlines, as defendants. It claims the aircraft design did not protect passengers from flammable jet fuel and that the aircraft was defective because it did not include a system to alert pilots they were on the wrong runway.
