Producers of Tom Cruise’s American Made, formerly known as Mena, are hit with another lawsuit, a year after the deadly plane crash on the Colombia set of the film.
The family of Carlos Berl, a Colombian pilot killed in the September 2015 crash, filed on Wednesday, September 14 in Los Angeles Country Superior Court a wrongful death suit against Imagine Entertainment and other production companies.
The estate of the other decedent, Alan Purwin, alleged that the defendants were “so negligently, unlawfully and carelessly supervised, prepared, instructed, operated, entrusted, piloted, flew, controlled, and directed the Subject Aircraft so as to cause and/or allow it to collide with terrain, grievously injuring Plaintiff’s decedent, Carlos Berl, who perished as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash,” according to the lawsuit. —PTI
