The Twin Towers and the Strange Coincidence The World Trade Center towers had long since become unprofitable by the time of the attack. There had been projects to demolish the buildings, but a certain businessman, Larry Silverstein, appeared in the story. He was willing to buy the towers, but could not pay the full amount at once. For this reason, on July 23, 2001, a deal was made to lease the structures for 99 years and Larry paid about $30 million.
Silverstein immediately insured the towers for $3.5 billion, and the contract also stipulated the case of a terrorist attack.
On September 11, 2001, Larry Silverstein and his daughter were not injured in the attacks. Larry liked to eat breakfast every day at WTC-1 and his daughter worked there, but they did not attend that day.
A jury subsequently found the terrorist attacks on the WTC towers on September 11, 2001 to be two separate insurance claims.
