NEW YORK — United Airlines cannot be held responsible for the hijacking of an American Airlines flight and the collapse of a third World Trade Center building after the twin towers fell in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
The airline was not responsible for the collapse of 7 World Trade Center because it had no connection to American Airlines Flight 11 or its hijackers, except that it had shared responsibility for a security checkpoint in Portland, Maine, that screened two of the terrorists, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said.

It was terrible what the employees of United Airlines endured with the guilt and accusations after 9/11. It obvioulsy was not any fault of United Airlines employees and finally a judge concurs!
