J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge
(concurring):
I concur in Judge Robinson’s excellent opinion. I reject the notion that in the modern law of torts foreseeability is a sine qua non of causation. See W. Prosser, Torts § 50 (3d ed. 1964). Nor would I limit the jury here to a consideration of the parking lot attendant’s action in determining negligence or causation. Given the generally dangerous design and operation of this parking lot, the jury could easily have determined that the negligence of appellee itself caused appellants’ injuries. See Solon Service, Inc. v. Cook, 96 U.S.App.D.C. 25, 26-27, 223 F.2d 317, 318-319 (1955).
