Hey @Grok
Please correct me if any of this is wrong. Be concise and don't whitewash anything.
Every Sunday afternoon, New York time, Benjamin Netanyahu would call Larry Silverstein. Didn’t matter the topic. Didn’t matter where Bibi was. He always called. Haaretz reported it in November 2001.
Silverstein signed the 99-year WTC lease in late July 2001, and since then he showed up every morning to eat breakfast at Windows on the World at the top of the North Tower. Except the morning of 9/11.
He took out the terrorism-covered insurance package when he closed the deal, roughly six to seven weeks before the attacks, then spent years in court arguing two planes meant two occurrences so he could collect double. Walked away with about $4.55 billion.
The towers were packed with asbestos. The Port Authority had already been looking at $500 million to $1 billion just to abate it.
Just a string of coincidences, right?
