Twin Towers Lotto Payout

[Claverhouse]

Anxious Americans remembering the hideous tragedy of 9/11 will be glad to know that some justice has been partially achieved and that the owner of the Twin Towers, Mr. Larry Silverstein, has won his battle to declare that each strike was a separate incident. ( EG: each plane was a separate weapon on a different target. ) This means the stingy brokers at Lloyds of London who argued this was a single tragedy will have to pay out $7 billion to Mr. Silverstein instead of $3.5 billion.

It's not the money that's important but the principle. As Mr. Nussbaum, Mr. Silverstein's attorney, might have traditionally put it.

Woohoo for capitalism and stingy insurance companies... but what's he going to do with the money now? Hmm? Has anyone asked him?

And I was worried that the "victims" wouldn't see justice.

Weren't the Twin Towers owned by the New York Port Authority though?

Unfortunately he's going to rebuild on the site. With 10 million glorious feet of office space and a memorial.

This is taking a big risk of course and he might end up in the poor-house. And he might not. I'm sure he'd give up all the money just to bring back one life.


Mr. Silverstein was the lease-holder.

That makes sense.
