You're terribly mistaken.
We do care that our soilders are dying. That's why we think it is repulsive that they were sent to invade two sovereign countries that ADMITTEDLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 911!
If you honestly believe that they actually had the means to attack American Soil, from caves in afghanistan, you need a coloring book and some crayons.
If you honestly believe that if North America was invaded, that we would stand around and do nothing, your out of your mind. We would all take up arms and resist the invaders, we would be terrorists 100%.
So don't quickly dismiss us as lunatics that don't care. Cause we do. But don't let the military propaganda that has indoctrinated you convince you that civilians had anything to do with this war. The people who are attacking our army are resisting our invasion. I cannot blame them for that.
Those same people would NEVER have had a chance to kill Americans if we simply never invaded them.
We need justice for the thousands that died 911, and we need justice for the thousands that had died since. And it all comes back to the fraud of 911.

I do not wish to defend someone that I know nothing about, personally.
It seems that these buildings where not optimum...so any stats regarding them would be incorrect. Another poster commented that many buildings, just scrape through inspections. I do not know if this is true or not, but I presume there has been cases. I expect someone like, a very rich buyer might be given a little breathing space, seen as they where creating such a loss and where undesireable.
What was the reason for buying them.? what plans did he have in mind.?

I suppose good business sense, that is how he got to where he is. Another poster talked about how iconic these buildings where, if you knew you could get a good deal on a set of buildings, that under closer inspection needed a lot of work, I suppose you would take them on, restore them, and make them the center of attention again.
Do you not see this as a possibility.?

I could say the same. Please keep it civil, there's a good chap. Nothing is gained by calling people ignorant and being rude. It closes down debate, which is of course what you may want.

Doesn't matter at all. Notice how you wrote PRELIMINARY calculations? Not even FINAL calculations.

It seems that Larry Silverstein made a habit of buying real-estate at the right price. And it seems as though he had very big plans for the whole area.
As for the insurance, he probably appears to have been `greedy`, claiming for two seperate incidences, because he knew how much money he had lost, not seeing his plans completed and the complications that had to be overcome to try and salvage this regeneration of the area.
I do not know if he thinks like this, but see it as a possibility.

No need to shout...It is like space on here, nobody can hear you scream.
In your opinion it was a bad move, you where not privy to what other `perks` he may have received.
I do not feel as though I am defending this man, but you cannot throw such wild allegations around.
Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards.

John Skilling, the head structural engineer had this to say:
Same source from above.
"[...] A lot of people would be killed, ... The building structure would still be there."
That 'evidence' pretty thin. So these guys' math didn't work out right. These were projections and models... and they're being used as evidence of a controlled demolition now??
