1993 WTC Bomb Victim Wins $5M in Damages

Victim was injured in a parking garage beneath WTC

A woman who was injured in the 1993 World Trade Center bomb blast has been awarded $5.46 million by a Manhattan jury.
    
The state Supreme Court jury awarded the money to 65-year-old Linda Nash, of Durango, Colo., for earnings lost when she could not return to work because of brain damage and for her past and future pain and suffering.
    
Nash's lawyer Louis Mangone said interest will make the amount $7.1 million.
    
Nash was injured in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center when terrorists detonated a car bomb Feb. 26, 1993. The blast killed six and wounded 1,000.
    
A jury in October 2005 found the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the trade center, had been negligent about security.
