Passers by mentioned that he was sitting on top of the tractor at one point.
They are responsible. Should have never lifted the wind restriction. He got out and waited, to die. Absolutely horrifying to imagine. My sympathy and prayers to his family.
I don't blame her for suing.
There will probably be a settlement, but she should go to a jury trial. A good jury could double or triple that wrongful death penalty.
Its not always about the money.
