But they restarted again just as soon as the limited-liability law
passed (1997?), which, interestingly enough, applies only to planes
older than 18 years! [Previous law let people sue for so-called
"manufacturing defects" in planes that had been flying successfully
for over 40 years!!]

Relevance to Lisp?  Think "software liability"...
