[Omen]

I say the buildings were planned to be demolished. You disagree.

I say Silverstein claimed double. You disagree.

There we are.

Do we both either of us really know? Of course not, we go by what we read.

But here's another source anyway:

Insurance Payouts
Don Paul also documented the money flows surrounding the loss of Building 7.

In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million.
