Description
This appeal arises out of wrongful death and survival actions brought by plaintiff-appellee, Donald A. Scott, Administrator of the Estate of Thomas L. Moody, deceased, against defendant-appellant, Eastern Air Lines, Inc. Plaintiffs decedent, a Pennsylvania resident, was killed while returning home aboard a Lockheed Electra aircraft operated by Eastern. The plane crashed into the navigable waters of Boston Harbor shortly after taking off from Bostons Logan Airport on a flight to Atlanta, Georgia, with the first scheduled stop at Philadelphia. Basing jurisdiction on diversity of citizenship, the decedents administrator brought suit on the "law side" of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that the decedents fatal injuries were the result of "negligence, breach of warranties, and breach of contract" on the part of Eastern.
