It's free real estate
One lucky gentleman who had purchased the buildings only 7 weeks earlier got a $4.5 billion insurance payout... he had been advised against purchasing the buildings because they needed to be renovated on every floor to remove the asbestos and it would have cost him millions. Renovations were scheduled for 2002. That problem was eliminated by some airplanes and he became a lot richer in the process... and proceeded to brag about it on multiple occasions!
Why do those people get insurance money, but I don't for terrorism and war related causes?
