Family of Former Obama Official Files Lawsuit Over Fatal Jet Incident
The family of Dana Hyde, a former Obama administration official, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit following her tragic death in a private jet incident in 2023. The lawsuit, filed against Airshare, Bombardier, and the pilots, alleges that pilot errors, rather than turbulence, led to the fatal incident. Hyde died after the Bombardier Challenger 300 jet experienced a violent pitch shortly after takeoff from New Hampshire. The National Transportation Safety Board's report indicated that the flight crew ignored a warning message and used incorrect protocols, contributing to the incident. Hyde's family, including her husband and son who were on board, claims that misleading accounts of turbulence have been debunked by the NTSB findings.
