lawyer and sue the NOAA for their horrible blunder?

You wouldn't be the first one to sue NOAA. And if you won you would
not be the first there either. The survivors of some of the fishermen
lost in a set of quite fierce North Atlantic storms successfully sued
NOAA because the weather observation buoy in the storm development area
was out of service.

I don't know any additional details because I only read the accounts in
the popular press. I often find that they leave out crucial legal
principals on which the outcome depended rather than take the time to
explain what really went on.
