OPINION
MOLLOY, District Judge:
I. Introduction
After a non-jury trial, the district court determined that Dr. Abid M. Hanson’s death on Olympic Airways (“Olympic”) Flight 417 was caused by an accident as defined by Article 17 of the Warsaw Convention. The trial judge also found the accident resulted from willful misconduct by Olympic’s employees. The district court awarded $1,400,000 in damages. Olympic appeals the determinations of the district court and the award of damages. We hold that the district court’s findings are not clearly erroneous and we AFFIRM.
