The 1993 WTC attack was unprecedented, the first attack by foreign terrorists on American soil.

You really have an unfair, ironic and outrageous situation here, ... The one company that had the courage and took the steps of breaking with the entire industry ? is now in a position where it's going to be bankrupt if the settlement is enacted.

This was a wake-up call. This was the first time.

The Feb. 26, 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was an act of terrorists, for which terrorists alone are responsible.

To hold the Port Authority twice as liable as the terrorists for the 1993 bombing stands logic, rationality and reason on its head.

Blame. That's what this case is about, ... The plaintiffs in this case want you to blame the Port Authority for the murderous acts of fanatical terrorists who planned and schemed for years ... who believed that it was their religious duty to wage a holy war against this country.
