Garuda Indonesia Flight 421

Flight Number

421

Date of Crash

16/01/2002

Location of Crash

Java, Indonesia

This Garuda flight plunged into the Solo River after both General Electric engines of the Boeing aircraft suffered a flame out when the aircraft flew through a thunderstorm. Miraculously, most of the passengers suffered only minor physical injuries, yet Floyd Wisner obtained very favorable settlements for his 38 clients in a lawsuit against Boeing and General Electric. Floyd Wisner negotiated these settlements while a motion by the defendants to transfer the action to Indonesia was pending before the U.S. court. This crash and resulting suit also led to safety changes as to the subject engines.
