He's the property owner of the building and he inquired about demolition that day and he took out an insurance policy to protect against terrorist attacks just a few weeks before 9/11 -- an insurance policy that netted him billions. And he and his children happened to be absent from work in the building that day. Even though he had been there EVERY OTHER MORNING FOR MONTHS. The fact that he's Jewish has nothing to do with the questions that arise from this combination of information. Yes, some idio*s take that into account, but it's irrelevant to the facts. Stop obsessing about Jewish stuff and and screaming anti-semitism immediately and just see what the man says. Does he seem to be telling the truth about that morning? Not to me, the hesitation, the strange way he tells the story. And he's changed his story multiple times now. He made billions from the insurance policy. Disregard his ethnicity, look at facts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OE3Adu4l0gI just fact checked your first claim and it is completely wrong. So I won't check the rest since you have no credibility.
1) the insurance policy was taken out a year before, not a few weeks.
2) was made out for less than the value. Why would he insure for less if he knew?
3) and, let's just say that the towers had ALREADY BEEN BOMBED ONCE (in 1993)! wouldn't you, um, want to insure against a second attack?
As for your ability to judge a guy via his statements on tv - well, more power to you. You are a true genius and should no doubt make millions playing poker.
More later maybe.
Yeah, great stuff abandon hope. Where is the evidence he bought the insurance a year before. And how does that make sense considering this:
In January 2001, Silverstein, via Silverstein Properties and Westfield America, made a $3.2 billion bid for the lease to the World Trade Center.[16] Silverstein was outbid by $30 million by Vornado Realty, with Boston Properties and Brookfield Properties also competing for the lease. However, Vornado withdrew and Silverstein's bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001.[17] This was the first time in the building's 31-year history that the complex had changed management.
So he acquired the property in July 2001 but had the insurance policy in September 2000? Proof?
