NEW YORK, Dec 20: The widow of a New Hampshire man who was a passenger on the United Airlines flight that slammed into the World Trade Center filed on Thursday what is believed to be the first suit against an airline stemming from the Sept 11 attacks.

The wrongful death suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that United breached its duty to care for the safety of the passengers on Flight 175.
