Evidently she has a problem with an insurance company paying what it's suppose to be paying in the first place. I saw two planes, didn't you?

Yes two planes hit but I didnt see anyone rebuild the towers or replace his first loss before the second plane hit. He had one loss and thats what he should get paid for.

Say a GI gets mortally wounded. While lying dying he gets hit by a grenade. Is his wife owed double death benefits because he was mortally wounded twice? He died once. (sorry about the disgusting analogy)

Fascinating.

There is a legitimate legal argument about the terms of the insurance policy.

The first crash was a discrete event from the second. It alone was enough to "max out" the policy. However, there was still a tower standing.

The second tower would still be standing but for the second crash.

The insurance company is arguing that the two crashes should be treated like a single disaster, like one big earthquake. After all, they are temporally linked, and the attack was part of a single "plot" to destroy them at about the same time.

However, the real question is, would the damage have been the same if only one plane had hit? Is the second his a separate attack? There are arguments to be made on both sides, but I see each crash as a discrete event. But for the second crash, the second tower would be standing.

So are you saying that the plane that hit the Pentagon was also included in the "one event" rule? Because that's what the argument is, one "wave," if you will, of planes. So it would have to include the PA and the DC planes.

I happen to personally know people involved in this lawsuit; the insurance companies involved are now claiming that they NEVER understood a policy that they READ AND SIGNED for 28 years and 11 months, up until the second those planes hit those buildings.

[Not now, Not ever!]

Oh I don't know, if only one plane had hit, the damage would have been radically different.
