Policies are contracts to be interpreted based on the words they contain, and not the words the insured wished they had after the fact. The industry doesn't mind providing coverage that is intended -- but jurors must be advised that changing the game after the deal is struck is not in anyone's long term interest.
One plan, one organization, one intended result -- destruction of one premises. Had there been twenty "bank robbers", each bullet from their guns would not be a separate occurrence either. It just never occurred to any of us that airplanes could be used as bullets.
If this ends as multiple occurrences, everyone loses nationwide, because lawyers will be folly not to try to apply the same principals to every new case they work... and this sympathy for the WTC attack will be another success of the terrorists to ruin our values.
