The Buzz | Lawyer for relatives of Germanwings victims may sue in US

A lawyer representing more than three dozen families whose loved ones were lost in the Germanwings plane crash in March says his clients want to sue for compensation in the United States, where courts could decide upon much larger settlements.
German lawyer Elmar Giemulla told the dpa news agency yesterday that 100 of his clients from 39 families gave him the go-ahead to pursue legal action in the U.S. at a Saturday meeting.
Prosecutors believe the Airbus A320 was intentionally crashed by its co-pilot, killing all 150 people on board the Germanwings Barcelona to Duesseldorf flight.
