Two TransWorld Airline mechanics failed to properly repair the landing gear of a 747. As a result, the plane’s landing gear collapsed on takeoff and the plane caught fire. Several passengers were injured. While racing to the scene of the crash, an airport fire truck blew a tire and hit a light pole. The pole fell onto Carl’s car, smashing the trunk and damaging the new Blu-Ray DVD player store there. The injured passengers and Carl sued TWA and the mechanics. Are TWA and the mechanics liable to the injured passengers? To Carl?
