A bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001, seven weeks before the buildings were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks by Larry Silverstein. The office towers were outdated and needed a $.5 billion renovation to correct asbestos problems. Surprisingly, following the attacks, he sought payment for the destruction of the towers as not one, but two incidents. If it were considered to be a single incident, the payout would be $3.55 billion and if it were two incidents, it would be $7.1 billion.
In October of 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a jury verdict from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York that the attacks must be considered a single occurrence. Yet, the same court also upheld a victory in the second phase of trial in which temporary insurance policies in effect when the buildings were destroyed did require that the attack be treated as two occurrences. Thus, nine insurance companies will pay double the approximately $1 billion in coverage under their policies.
Consequently, Marvin Bush, brother to President Gorge W. Bush, had recently taken control of WTC security and was in NYC on September 11 according to Barbara Bush's book. A week prior to September 11 power at WTC was cut off for 36 hours - killing all access to internal video monitors as many engineers were witnessed going in and out of the building.
