Subject: SpaceX liability question
So how much liability does SpaceX have for the disruptions caused by the in-flight break up of their rocket yesterday? While I'm not aware of any falling debris actually hitting anything other than the ocean, there were lots of flight delays and diversions across the Caribbean while planes could not cross the debris path for about an hour. Because of that suddenly closed airspace, all flights had to either enter a holding pattern or divert to alternate airports because they didn't have enough fuel to hold for that length of time. That's real economic impacts to both passengers and airlines.
Are we looking at a bunch of potential lawsuits here?
