there could have been people that were supposed to be in the WTC that morning that weren't.

I'm specifically referring to my friends/co-workers that were in the planes, working as crew members at the time/point of impact

After the BIG insurance payouts from WTC, a new total terrorism exclusion popped up in standard property policies. You can still get that coverage, but you pay more for it.


Whatever happened with the mega property owner suing over whether the NYC airplane crashes were one or two events (insurance language) on 9/11?

Several millions were involved as he had two buildings destroyed...

I think some folks thought our social problems of yesteryear would be absolved by electing him.


Many hoped an honest national dialogue about race could occur and race relations would improve, but things seem to have only gotten worse. Is that one person's exclusive fault, no. All sides share some blame, but Obama has not been the post-racial leader many had hoped for.

Ummmmm.


I promise you that there are supercomputers at the NSA that crawl the web for info and analyze the data.


It's all out there and so easily assessible that I'm not sure it's unreasable to suggest anymore that it's not just metadata: they can build a dossier on almost everyone that uses the internet automatically. Someone just needs to type your name in.

It's like Batman, but with more pimples.

As I was reading (and responding) to your other post, I realized that.

I would agree that was a very unique situation and the presence of those persons on the planes could be easily verified through the American/United records.

Software does it
Yep, but it must have been set to "ignore" in this case, as yesterday's flash mob was organized on social media.

FIFY

I think he settled with the insurers (and reinsurers) and was paid for 1+ "occurrences," but not 2 occurrences.

Ah, the endless victimhood. The black man only gets to be president if he says what the white man wants him to.

I should have been a little more clear in stating that it was more than just life insurance, all benefits were cut off, really for no reason, at a time when these people needed some help and support the most. It finally got straightened out but there was no need for the company's actions.

Yeah I guess, "Go the frick home" was a little too preachy.

I don't think that is too far fetched.

Don't really see why the President should step with a situation like this. It would be one thing if this type of destruction was happen in multiple cities. But the Gov, Mayor & Police Chief have spoken. That's all that needs to happen at the moment.

Well it should help. Those rioting believe this is a race issue and you would think hearing from the highest ranking human being on earth (same race) would deter them. All assuming he attempted to do so.

Is Baltimore no longer a part of the United States? Bush went to bat for Rodney King.
