The owners of the World Trade Center were blocked Thursday from filing a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against the two airlines whose hijacked planes brought down the twin towers.
The ruling from Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein came after a four-day trial where the doomed skyscrapers’ owners sought to sue for at least $3.5 billion in the 9/11 terrorist attack.
“If this case were to go forward, the WTC companies would not be able to recover anything against the airlines,” Hellerstein ruled in the non-jury trial.
Real estate developer Larry Silverstein and World Trade Center Properties have already collected nearly $5 billion toward reconstruction.
But they sought additional money from United Airlines Inc., American Airlines Inc. and the latter’s parent company, AMR Corp., alleging their negligence let the terrorists board the flights.
In addition to the twin towers, a third skyscraper — 7 World Trade Center — was destroyed by the attack.
Hellerstein ruled that Silverstein’s multibillion-dollar insurance compensation stopped him from filing a lawsuit against the airlines.
He cited state laws barring “windfalls and double recovery on the same loss.”
United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11, both flying out of Boston, were hijacked and flown into the 110-story skyscrapers. (So we've been told).
Silverstein, in a statement, promised an appeal.
“We will not rest until we have exhausted every option to insure that the aviation industry’s insurers pay their fair share toward the complete rebuilding of the World Trade Center,” the statement declared.

So, Teo, this judge is apparently not corrupt, but Silverstein el al will continue to appeal until they find a judge as corrupt as they are...perhaps someone on the Bush team. I can't believe the hubris of these jerks. Meanwhile over 900 first responders have died, and God knows how many others...people were told that the dust in their apartments wasn't toxic...people were told to return to contaminated offices.
Bob, did you watch that video I posted on the other thread?
Sliverstein...scum of the earth
