A U.S. passenger is suing EgyptAir for $5 million (4.66 million euros) after she sustained second-degree burns when her cup of hot tea spilt during a turbulence incident. The incident occurred on a February 18 flight from New York JFK, United States, to Cairo in Egypt.

Sounds like a repeat of the Maccas case. They probably shouldn't be serving drinks so hot they can cause 2nd degree burns in an environment where they can expect turbulence to be a relatively common experience.

But most people will probably hear about this and blame an overly litigious/greedy Karen.
