#1 Chevron called on the Nigerian military to rescue some hostages at an oil facility a while ago. The military did so, but killed one or more of the hostage takers in the process. Chevron was then sued for wrongful death, under the claim that the hostages were in no danger (and besides, were about to be released) so their was no reason to use deadly force. The case was tried in San Francisco. Amazingly enough, even the San Francisco court found in favor of Chevron.
