The Nation - News from April 24, 1986
A federal judge found World Airways, the Federal Aviation Administration and the operators of Boston’s Logan International Airport all partly to blame for a 1982 airline crash that injured dozens of passengers and presumably killed two. U.S. District Judge Robert E. Keeton found World Airways 50% to blame in the crash of World Airways Flight 30, which skidded off a runway into frigid Boston Harbor. Thirty-nine passengers were injured and two, Walter Metcalf and his son, Leo, were presumed drowned in the harbor waters. A trial to determine damages will be held this fall.
