CALDERON–CARDONA v. DEM. PEOPLE’S REP. OF KOREA Cite as 723 F.Supp.2d 441 (D.Puerto Rico 2010) impairment in normal functioning. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 126, ln. 8–9) Dr. Ramos found, from Pablo’s sworn statement and from the descriptions provided by Angel and Antonia, that Pablo’s life was defined by the Lod Airport Attack. She stated: It’s almost—it’s before the terrorist attack, and after; his life drastically changed in many ways. He never worked again. He became socially isolated, he became withdraw, depressed, he lost a tremendous amount of weight, his functioning in society was severely compromised; and from the date of— that I gathered, he never returned to his pre-terrorist attack functioning. So it is my impression that it [the Lod Airport Attack] was devastating in every sense of the word. Economically, in terms of his family, and in his marriage relationship TTT But from the data, it appear that his symptoms never went away completely. So he never fully recovered. He may have had periods of improvement, but he never achieved the element of functioning that he had before the terrorist attack.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 109, ln. 19–p. 110, ln. 13–16) At trial, Dr. Ramos also addressed the issue of whether trauma experienced from Miguel Angel’s death could have been the cause of Pablo’s severe disorders. She stated that the trauma of Miguel Angel’s death certainly was a blow to Pablo and Antonia, but that after his death ‘‘the family was able to achieve some sort of normal normalcy [sic], and that it eventually was functioning again. They [Pablo and Antonia] were both working. They were still having a social life. They were enjoying the time with their family before the incident of the terrorist attack.’’ (Trial Trantion or judgment or the inability to function in almost all areas. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 481 script, Dec. 3, 2009, pp. 107–108) Dr. Ramos stated that Pablo and Antonia’s family life ‘‘was also functioning relatively well at the time of the terrorist attack. He [Pablo] was sharing with family. He was involved in many activities. He had plans for the future. He was working.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 117, ln. 15–24) All of these things changed significantly after Pablo suffered the traumatic events of the Lod Airport Attack. According to Dr. Ramos, one of the more telling portions of Pablo’s written declaration is his vivid recollection of the Lod Airport Attack itself. At trial Dr. Ramos quoted from Pablo’s description of the attack: As the shooting continues, people were yelling and running around. It was frightening and overwhelming. I couldn’t just stand there so I began to run, frantically looking for an exit, but I couldn’t find the door. I just knew I had to get out of there. I was very confused and my panic increased every second. As I ran looking for a place to escape, I saw blood everywhere. On the floor, I saw dead bodies and injured people. It was a horrible scene and full of images that I will never forget. And while I was running in all directions, I think I saw the terrorists themselves. But I kept running, looking for a way out. It was too much for me to comprehend at one time.’’ (Trial Transcript, p. 108, ln. 22–p. 109, ln. 8) Dr. Ramos testified that this detailed description by Pablo was provided 35 years after the Lod Airport Attack, yet describes in an extremely vibrant manner ‘‘a scene of horror and panic,’’ and that such a clear recollection so long after the event itself indicates the profound effect it 2009, p. 126, ln. 10–23)
