The family of a New Orleans TV newscaster who was killed in a stunt plane crash a year ago has filed a $23 million lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration.
Nancy Parker, 53, was a reporter for the local Fox affiliate in New Orleans and had worked for the station for 23 years.
Parker's husband, Glen Boyd, claims in the lawsuit that FAA workers were aware of airplane's"lengthy and well-known history of substandard maintenance, mechanical problems and scant flight time" when they cleared the flight for takeoff, according to the lawsuit that was filed on Aug. 6. The lawsuit did not specify the maintenance history of the aircraft or cite specific evidence proving the FAA was aware of any alleged history of mechanical problems.
According to the lawsuit, Parker was not notified by the FAA or employees at the Lakefront Airport of the"foreseeable risk of harm to life and limb associated with flying in the aircraft" nor was she advised of the plane's history of mechanical problems prior to boarding the aircraft.
