A commercial airliner flying across the Atlantic Ocean suddenly disappears from radar. There is no inclement weather, nor were there any other planes in the area. Nothing at all showed on radar at the time the plane disappeared. A day later, a fishing boat reported debris from an airplane, and investigators determined that the plane crashed into the ocean. There were no survivors. The plane itself is now 2 miles under water, and only small floating objects remain. The "black box" that might provide evidence is in the fuselage 2 miles down and is not recoverable. Further investigation shows that the plane had all proper maintenance, with no problems or concerns, and that the flight crew was experienced, sober, and rested prior to the flight. Karl's wife was a passenger on the plane, and he wants to sue. How can he successfully bring a lawsuit for negligence?
