How would that work then? If the world is destroyed who do you sue? If not how do you make it stick?
Looks like someone's getting a wodge from the US coffers for their 'preliminary investigations'.
Lets not forget who set off the world's first atom bomb. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gadget) Opinion was split as to whether the explosion would ignite ALL the hydrogen in the atmosphere. That was one hell of a coin toss.
