A US law firm will represent a group of One-Two-Go air-crash victims in a lawsuit against the Boeing Company for the recent air-crash at Phuket International Airport.

Published on September 28, 2007



The accident killed 89 people and injured 41 others on September 16.

The Ribbeck Law Chartered firm, based in Chicago, will today speak on behalf of their clients about legal action to be taken against Boeing.

A press conference will be held at the luxury Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok.

Meanwhile, police announced that all bodies of the victims had been handed over to their relatives and the disaster-victim-identification unit was now closed.

Provincial Police Region 9 commissioner Lt General Thanee Tawichasri thanked the relevant authorities for their help in identifying victims.

Meanwhile, Phuket police chief Maj General Decha Butrnampetch said investigators were gathering evidence and would question experts in aviation techniques in the next one or two days.

Public Health Ministry permanent-secretary Dr Prat Boonyavongvirot said 13 victims from the crash remained hospitalised in Phuket yesterday. Nine were Thais.

"Their condition is improving. Two of them are healthy enough to go home but they are now waiting for their relatives to pick them up," Prat said.
