I wouldn't say any injury lawyers are licking their chops to represent people in this case - this will be a tough case and there is not that much money in it ( saying that I have no idea how injured the survivors are). Much easier ways to make money. The weir example doesn't as there is a different (tougher) standard for suing a municipality. I am really not going to look into this in any depth, unless someone actually wants to hire me... I think that covers it.

The two injured that I know about, it sounds like they have permanently life altering injuries. I don't know them personally, but I get email updates as part of an organization.
