New York CitySister of 9/11 victim sues over pipe explosion

Link

Brooklyn woman has filed the first lawsuit against Consolidated Edison following last week's steam pipe explosion in Manhattan.

Francine Dorf, who says she was a victim of the explosion, is seeking punitive damages, her lawyer, Kenneth Mollins of Melville, said Monday.

Dorf's sister was killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mollins said, and when a steam pipe burst at Lexington Avenue and 41st Street last Wednesday, Dorf feared she would meet the same fate.

Dorf is now suffering symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Mollins said.

1. Eye-rolling?

I'd be pretty freaked out, too, and I've even been through an explosion.

4. Brooklyn woman 'harmed' by Manhattan utility problems?

I don't think lawsuits get much more frivolous than this.

Maybe she should sue Tim Conway for making all those golf videos, too. I bet the name thing has caused significant harm to her reputation. :eyes:

5. We all got flashbacks from that cloud of smoke.

But good grief, lady. That's too delicate for words.
