    If all of these co-conspirating hijackers were on one plane and dropped two bombs, one into each of the WTC towers, one hour apart, would that be considered one event or two?

    What I want to know, is what is the cost to replace the towers? In other words, what amount would indemnify Silverstein for the lost of the towers?

    It was 2 seperate events. This has cost all Americans something much more then the insures will ever pay.
    After all its only money, if you dont want to insure the risk then dont take the money to do so.

    I guess it was just coincidence that the two planes each struck a different tower from oposite directions less than one hour apart? How anyone can conclude this is two separate events is really using common sense. At the end of the day whether Silverstein collects $3.5 Billion or $7 Billion is really mute – the entire complex was so far underinsured that the ultimate cost to replace the six WTC buildings (since # 7 WTC was occupied entirely by Citigroup and they are rebuilding it already) will probably be more than $12 Billion. Silverstein and his brokers, nor anyone for that matter could have imagined any kind of property event that would cause even the total loss of one of the two towers much less the loss of the entire complex. But the question is why shoudl the insurers be the charitable organizations that forgo the contract terms because of the tragic event?
    I bet that Silverstein will obtain so much state and federal funding at NO or low interest rates to rebuild the entire complex due to this tragic event and the importance to the American spirit that the complex gets rebuilt.

    Regaurdless to wheather Silverstein wins or looses this case, he will not have enough to build the Freedumb Tower. Its cost is higher than you think it is. If he was rebuilding the Twin Towers, then he would have recieved numerous funds from those who want to work there. I hope that he looses this suit like he did the first time. He has to understand that he only got half of he wanted originally because, it was really only one attack.
