A Brooklyn, New York couple has been awarded one million dollars after a Manhattan Supreme Court jury ruled in favor of their claim to Allstate Insurance for damages to their home caused by vibrations from an airliner taking off from John F. Kennedy Airport.
John and Annette Ferranti had a custom-built steel and concrete home in Mill Basin , Brooklyn . In July of 2002, the Air France Concorde had trouble gaining altitude upon take-off, buzzing Belle Harbor at a hazardously low altitude.
Residents of the area complained about cracking plaster and shaking foundations, including the Ferranti's who experienced leaking thorough cracks in concrete blocks of their 12 year-old home after rainstorms.
