N.Y. court will hear appeal of claims against Port Authority for 1993 World Trade Center bombing | NJ.com

The jury verdict sheet is a shock. Fault was allocated 68% to the Port Authority and 32% to "The bombers" for the 1993 World Trade Center garage bombing.  A high level PA  team had gone to London and reported back that "Scotland Yard was appalled" by the lack of security at the WTC garage.

This is an opportunity for the New York Court of Appeals to go off the tracks. The jury should never have been asked to compare the Port Authority's neglect with the terrorists fault. The question for the jury was "Was the Port Authority negligent in its efforts to take precautions against a foreseeable risk of attack?" To that its answer was `Yes'. Inquiry should have stopped there. - GWC

N.Y. court will hear appeal of claims against Port Authority for 1993 World Trade Center bombing | NJ.com:

"ALBANY — New York's top court will hear the appeal of claims against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for the 1993 terrorist bombing of its World Trade Center with a rental van of explosives driven by terrorists into its public parking garage.
In lawsuits citing garage security concerns since 1984, a jury found the agency that owned the trade center negligent for failing to maintain reasonably safe premises and 68 percent at fault, blaming the terrorists for the other 32 percent.
A mid-level court upheld the verdict, rejecting the authority's claim of governmental immunity.
The agency says holding it doubly culpable as the terrorists is unreasonable.
The Court of Appeals will hear arguments Wednesday."
