NEW YORK -- A jury has found the New York Port Authority negligent in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
The verdict says the Port Authority, which owned the World Trade Center, failed to properly guard the parking garage where terrorists set off a half-ton of explosives in a rental van.
The verdict is a victory for victims of the attack that killed six people and wounded 1,000. Other trials will now be held to determine money damages.
The explosion filled the building with smoke, wrecked the towers' power and emergency systems, and spread fear across New York. Plaintiff attorneys showed the Port Authority's own security officials warned in 1985 that the 400-space garage was a likely target.
The jury took just one day to reach its verdict.
How does smoke inhalation constitute a wound?
It's called a Kerry diagnosis.
Damn straight!! Sue em!! That'll teach those taxpayers to let terrorist attack buildings!!
Who, in 1993, would have predicted that somebody would bomb the WTC parking garage?
Parking garage owners nationwide had best install expensive security measures NOW!
Yeah, and stupid lawsuits like this is exactly why people in charge are afraid to say that something could stand to be improved, because it could come back and bite them on the rear later.
Since Bush bears a huge responsibility for 9-11, according to leftist moonbats, shouldn't this suit be shared by the Clintons?
Ummmm . . . . I'm not sure how to tell either the jurors or the prosecutor this but . . ummm, the WTC towers are gone . . . . no longer there . . . . missing in action . . . lost in NY . . . . DUST.
There's no money to collect from something that another group of terrorists have totally destroyed.
The whole effort would have been put to better use if the prosecutor had gone after al-Qaeda for some of their wealth instead of the Port Authority.
You can bet youir "bippy" the pissers' and moaners won't be looking back at the Clinton fiasco presidency which left this nation unprotected from it's enemies while these two scumbags went about their lascivious and lying ways!
Wake up America and reject this trash out right before they take this nation on another wild ride down the road of destruction!
Say no to scumbag Bill and scumbagguete Hillary now before it is too late to stop this juggernaught of filth, evil and deception!
