On Motion for Rehearing.
Deen, Presiding Judge.
When our original opinion in this case was delivered in February of 1976, it had been researched and developed *769without the benefit of Federal District Judge Owens’ opinion in Sharpe v. Seaboard C. L. R. Co., affirmed March 10, 1976, 528 F2d 546. In remarkably similar analyses and totally independent of one another, the federal and state courts have reached the same conclusion— that the statute of limitation in Georgia for lost wages and lost earning capacity is two years. Such unanimity between state and federal courts being rare under the best of circumstances, we are compelled to note our amazement that it was reached on this issue independently.

Motion for rehearing denied.
