This is retarded. Yep, some jr. shipman could not have possibly made a mistake in the panic. Must have been some sinister ploy.

Any error, either to fire flares, fire the wrong kind. not fully deploy all lifeboats (cough) are ALL fuel for morons.

Don't you even realize how overt and transparent your tactics are?

For one thing, actual details of insurance settlements are rarely broadcast by either party involved ... such evidence you demand may or may not be readily available ... but given the specificity of the figure presented ... it seems that the film maker had some source or evidence.

It's just as valid for me to demand you provide proof of your claims, as it is for you to do it. Have you evidence that the film maker is wrong? If not, don't pass off your "opinion" as anything other than a baseless accusation. Because that is what it is.

Now, without going off topic ... your reference to the WTC owner not making a profit on the insurance is such an ignorant thing to divert to ... given you obviously fancy yourself as a "mathguy" ... do the math. The owner put's up 100 Million for a 99 year lease on the WTC ... takes out insurance, that includes acts of terrorism .... 90 days later all three of his buildings are attacked and collapse ... he collects several BILLION dollars, and you can't calculate a net gain from a 100 Million investment to 5 Billion (5,000 Million) gain in 90 days?

Let's take out the big confusing numbers ....lets use smaller figures ... say a $100 investment being converted to a $5,000 return over 90 days. Is that easier?

I suggest you change your handle to Math-Challenged-Guy if you think Silverstein lost money..
I can't fix a 7th grade education.

Secondly .. if posters would refrain from all of the rhetoric and juvenile childishness, as is well demonstrated on this thread that makes up 50% of it's overall content ... your position might carry a bit more weight.

As it stands ... no. In the time you've wasted bantering back and forth, of which IS a total waste of everyone else's reading time, you could have simply said, the answer was given in post # blank ... and that would have required one post .. and not TWELVE.
Hypocrite

Wow. You just told a fellow poster to shut up. Despite the fact that you lack much education but gee....you sure know the trooooof.

Honestly, this thread is just pathetic. Still waiting to see any proof of the 12million settlement your buddies claimed and you knee-jerk believed without any documentation and then told me that such documentation is hard to come by.....but hey....you believed it 100% and the defended the lack of documentation as it being hard to come by.

Oh, SNAP!

Quite seriously, in order for me to honestly ascertain your posts, exactly what medications are you currently on? I think this is a fair question befrore I devote more time studying your theories.

Funny that a guy called Mathguy would dismiss all of those factors.
