*508LUMBARD, Chief Judge
(concurring).
The result reached by my brethren in this case is one with which I fully agree, but I can concur in only so much of their reasoning as relates to the claim based on common law negligence. In my opinion, the careful analysis of the Interstate Commerce Commission’s Safety Regulations set forth in Judge Herlands’ opinion, 183 F.Supp. 919, is entirely correct. I would hold that the regulations neither expressly nor impliedly required of the defendant that it provide airtight brakes for its trailer or equip it with a device that would keep it stationary for such time as it was being loaded or unloaded — in this case, for seven hours.
