Description
In this Federal Tort Claims Act*fn1 case the district court entered judgment for the plaintiffs upon a finding that acts and omissions of two federal regulatory agencies were negligent. The plaintiffs are the widows and executrices of two passengers in a small private airplane who were killed when the plane struck a guy wire which supported a tall television tower. The district court found negligence and proximate cause in three agency actions and omissions: (1) the government was found negligent for publishing a "sectional chart" which showed the TV tower in the wrong location; (2) the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was found negligent in issuing a "no hazard determination" when construction of the tower was proposed; and (3) the FAA and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) were found negligent for failing to require additional lighting or marking "so as to safeguard pilots who are in the area from striking the guy-wires of such a tower, or at least to have inquired into the feasibility of marking the wires." Reminga v. United States, 448 F. Supp. 445, 469 (W.D.Mich.1978).
