Nearly a dozen American passengers who survived an Aeromexico plane crash filed lawsuits against the airline on Aug. 6, according to attorneys from law firm Corboy & Demetrio.
The 11 passengers were onboard an Aeromexico Flight 2431 on July 31 when it crashed after an attempted takeoff in the midst of a heavy storm in Durango, Mexico. The aircraft, which was on its way to Mexico City, hit the ground a few hundred yards away from the runway.
