Ah yes, the “Twin Towers”

No…there is another!

It’s called the twin towers because 2 of the three towers are twins so it does make sense.

Honestly “Triplet Towers” rolls nicely off the tongue

AstralPath ,

Surely this is satire… Right?

Surely. Although the internet does have a strange way of memeing things into real life after enough time.

Imagine you create some memes that our planet is flat. And a couple of years later there are people that believe in this BS.

Wait a minute….

I just saw an Apple commercial that had the “birds aren’t real” meme.

Third building wasn’t insured, that is why it is not mentioned.

There’s a misconception about the insurance of the towers, some people think that only one tower was insured, in reality both towers were, but on the same policy. After the attacks, the owners of the towers tried to claim damage on both towers as if both were destroyed independently. The judge sided with the insurance companies, that it was only one attack on both towers, so it counts as only one event to be claim.

That seems like it shouldn’t matter… Either two half size payouts or one full payout is what it seems like it should be. I’m sure there are some shenanigans that make it not that simple when it really should be.

There’s a maximum liability limit in each policy. No matter what, that’s what that’s the maximum the insurance company is going to pay. Given that the full blow up of one tower already got to that limit, the towers owners claimed that each tower had a different claim, so the maximum liability of one, does not affect the other, but the judge disagree, said that both towers were affected by the same attack and share the same maximum liability.

I knew there was some way the insurance company was weaseling out of paying.

I'm pretty sure David Copperfield made it disappear few years earlier.

He must have been radicalized online.

Hey, man, BBSes could get pretty extreme back in the day. Ask Timothy McVeigh.

Actually there were four towers originally, with the mast being a middle finger to China. That’s why they funded terrorists to blow up the towers. The attack was only partially successful, knocking down just two towers. George Bush couldn’t bear to see only half of his towers remaining, which is why he sent the planes in to finish the job.

I would support NYC making this the new skyline

the reflections on one of the buildings makes it look like the middle finger tower is a rocket that’s taking off
