Hahahahahahahahahahah. Here's a sample Torts question. Fucking awesome! I'm going to love Saturday's final:
Alison and her husband, Beattie, lived in Village in a remote part of the state of Arctic. Alison made her living as a pilot, ferring sportspersons and vacationers around the area. One day Alison asked Fergusen, another pilot, if she could fly his plane to the state capitol so that she and Beattie could do their holiday shopping; they were picking up a piano for their children and Alison's plane did not have the lift capacity to carry it. Fergusen agreed to lend her his plane. Two hours before Alison was to take off, Fergusen's mechanic called and informed him that the fuel gauge on his plane was stuck on "full" and would falsely indicate that the tank was full even when empty. About an hour later, Fergusen called Alison's home. Beattie answered, and said that Alison had left to run some errands but that he (Beattie) would be meeting her at the airstrip and would be flying with her to the capitol. Fergusen told Beattie about the fuel gauge.
Later, at the airstrip, Alison performed the preflight check on Fergusen's plane and saw by the fuel gauge that it was full up. In fact, the plane only had enough fuel to get half-way to its destination. Beattie forgot all about the defective fuel gauge until the plane's engine stopped while they were in midair. An experienced and extremely talented pilot, Alison saw that the only place they could even possibly glide to a landing with any hope of survival in the mountainour, heavily wooded area was on the railroad track that ran from Village to the capitol. Using all her skill, Alison miraculously brought the plane to a safe landing in a slightly inclined section of track between two tunnels. Unfortunately, at the same time Mackenzie, a railroad engineer was ferrying a locomotive from Village to the capitol and was reading a magazine rather than observing the track ahead. The train emerged from the tunnel behind where Alison had landed and bore down on the airplane. Looking up too late to avoid a collision, which could have been avoided by prompt action, Mackienzie applied the locomotive's emergency brakes, but it struck the airplane, severely injuring Alison and Beattie.
Who is liable to whom and for what?
I need finals to end quickly.
