Gondola accident victims' families awarded compensation

Article Abstract:

The Italian government on Feb 2000 awarded nearly $2 million to each of the families of 20 people in a ski gondola accident in Aviano, Italy, involving an EA-6B Prowler military aircraft. The plane, which was on a low level training flight that carried it over a ski resort in the Dolomite Mountains, strayed below its authorized altitude of 1,000 ft and struck and severed the gondola cable of the ski lift. Its pilot and navigator have both been discharged from the Marine Corps.
