A Florida jury has declared that two men, a flight teacher and one time student pilot, be awarded 53 million dollars. This judgment is against two makers. The jury has decided the manufacturers were at fault for the plane wreck which caused terrible injury to both of the men. The injured men claimed, and the jury concurred, that the manufacturer of the plane’s carburetor, and the engine maker of the small plane, Cessna 150, were aware of the defects which made   the carburator fail,  then then engine to stall out, and consequently the plane to crash. The carburetor manufacturer is reposible for 70% of the award and the engine maker must pay the rest.
