Woman sues for €180million after NY ferry accident

A woman who claims she was trapped in the wreckage of the crashed Staten Island ferry is demanding €180 million in compensation, it emerged today.

Ivette Jones is one of many people expected to file multi-million pound lawsuits against New York City following the accident, which killed 10 people, and injured dozens more.

The 42-year-old claims she feels sick when she uses the ferry to get to work from her Staten Island home, and that she can no longer sleep.
