William C. Whitesell v. Zantop

These appeals involve a fatal airplane crash. In 1977 Zantop International Airlines, Inc. ["Zantop"] purchased four used airplanes
from Eastern Airlines ["Eastern"]. On May 30, 1984, one of the planes, a Lockheed Electra cargo plane, broke up in midair
over Pennsylvania. Three Zantop employees (Charles R. Embry, John J. Bolton and John B. Figarra) and one passenger (Bruce
G. Whitesell) were killed.
