Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe promised you this one: a tourist accused of attacking a seal is now arguing, somehow, that it's Delta's fault, according to Fodor's Travel Guide.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe story is an alleged seal attack, and the defense is the airline.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe reporting does not spell out how Delta is supposed to be responsible, so we will not guess.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, I blame the seal's agent for putting it near a tourist, and the weather, and whoever invented beaches.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDelta.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIf a delayed flight is a legal defense, every one of us is innocent of everything since two thousand fifteen.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe seal has no lawyer, no airline, and no peanuts. It's the only honest party in this case.
