joblo7 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million. Quote
joblo7 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Posted November 8, 2007 "A Parable To put these events in perspective, imagine that a person leases an expensive house, and immediately takes out an insurance policy covering the entire value of the house and specifically covering bomb attacks. Six weeks later two bombs go off in the house, separated by an hour. The house burns down, and the lessor immediately sues the insurance company to pay him twice the value of the house, and ultimately wins. The lessor also gets the city to dispose of the wreckage, excavate the site, and help him build a new house on the site." Quote
kevbone Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Man is that so interesting. I heard (hearsay) that about 2 weeks before 9/11 both buildings had a mandatory fire drill. At that time (with the buildings empty) it is conceivable that the explosives used to level both buildings were put in place. I also read that it would be almost impossible for a plane to actually bring a building of that size to the ground. I know I know …..It’s all a conspiracy theory. But with how this current administration has torn apart the constitution…..I would not put is past Bush and his cronies. Quote

Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company, Burns noted, was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Burns also served. [utne] According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down." Quote
