Families of passengers on downed Chicago chopper 'voluntarily discontinue' lawsuit

By Michael Tutton (CP) – 4 hours ago

HALIFAX, N.S. — The families of passengers who died in the crash of a Sikorsky helicopter off Newfoundland and the sole survivor of the tragedy have "voluntarily discontinued" their lawsuit against the U.S. company in hopes of reaching a settlement.

Fifteen passengers and the survivor launched a lawsuit in June in the Philadelphia court of common pleas, alleging that Sikorsky, Keystone Helicopters and their parent company, United Technologies Corp., made false claims about the aircraft's safety.
