The following excerpt is from Petition of Kinsman Transit Company, 338 F.2d 708 (2nd Cir. 1964):

The very statement of the case suggests the need for considering Palsgraf v. Long Island RR., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99, 59 A.L.R. 1253 (1928), and the closely related problem of liability for unforeseeable consequences.
