The developer rebuilding the World Trade Center in New York told a federal appeals court that he is entitled to recoup billions of dollars from two airlines, even though he has already collected USD$ 4 billion in insurance money for the September 11, 2001, attacks that destroyed the site.

Lawyers for Larry Silverstein and his World Trade Center Properties urged the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to overturn a lower court ruling barring him from pursuing damages against United Continental Holdings and American Airlines Group, whose planes crashed into the twin towers.

But the airlines said the insurance money was more than enough to compensate Silverstein for the fair market value of the lease he held for the property.

Separately, Silverstein’s lawyers also argued his insurers should hand over USD$ 1.2 billion they won from the airlines and airport security companies.

The two-front appeal is the latest in a years-long legal battle Silverstein has waged over the site, which saw its new flagship skyscraper, One World Trade Center, previously known as the Freedom Tower, open in November.

Silverstein has argued that the lease included a contractual obligation that he rebuild the site. He claims he is entitled to money for those costs, as well as for lost rental revenue, in addition to compensation for the value of the buildings themselves.

In July 2013, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said Silverstein could not recover damages from United Airlines, now United Continental, and American Airlines, which Silverstein accused of negligence.

Four months later, Hellerstein ruled Silverstein had no right to the money his insurers had collected from the airlines as part of their own claims.

The three-judge panel did not indicate how it would rule, though Circuit Judge Chester Straub expressed doubts about the airlines’ position.

Lucky Larry got American insurance policy holders to pay for rebuilding of WTC. Now trying to collect cash to keep Mossad going, the likely orchestrator of 9/11. Jew sees big bucks in terrorism.
