WGN's Uncle Bob Vindicated 7 years later

C

Cornflake the Destroyer

It wasn't "Uncle Bob's" fault, a judge has ruled.

More than seven years after the plane crash that killed WGN's Bob Collins and two other people, a federal judge ruled late Friday that Collins was only 5 percent at fault for the crash, leaving the Federal Aviation Administration and the air traffic controller mostly at fault.

Because of federal immunity from lawsuits, though, the most Collins' widow, Christine, and the other victims' families can share is the $1 million insurance policy of Midwest Air Traffic Control Services, said Christine Collins' attorney Bob Clifford.

It's been over seven years already? Wow I hadn't realized it had been that long. My dad was a huge Bob Collins fan and was commenting a few days ago that he still missed hearing him on the air. He likes Spike in the mornings but he still says no one beats Bob Collins personality.
