Families of 14 men killed in a Nimrod plane crash are considering corporate manslaughter charges against defence contractors criticised for their role in the tragedy. John Cooper, lawyer for the families, said that a damning report produced by aviation lawyer Charles Haddon-Cave's review exposed new details about the conduct of the Ministry of Defence's private partners. Senior officials and executives from defence firms BAE Systems and QinetiQ, who were involved in a safety review described as "poorly planned, poorly managed and poorly executed", were...criticised. Mr Cooper said…"This is probably the most damning and stark indictment of negligence, at the very least, that we've seen."
