I think the idea of a pension plan is a bit outdated. You're supposed to work and save, work and save, work and save. Not work and spend, work and spend, work and spend and then when you retire, you'll make the same salary for the next 20 years as you made in your final year. I think companies set this up after the Great Depression, but never took into account what would happen if the company could no longer afford to pay its pensions.
2.8 billion is not enough for this piece of shit parasite. He now wants 16.2 billion?

Or the reports that emerged in Newsweek, the Washington Post, and the New York Times that at least five of the alleged hijackers received training in the 1990s at secure US military installations, including Mohamed Atta who attended International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. The US Air Force later argued that they might not be the same persons, due to some biographical discrepancies which of course were never revealed to the public. When Senator Bill Nelson tried to investigate, shocked at the possibility that Pensacola Naval Air Station could have hosted and trained Saeed Alghamdi, Ahmed Alghamdi, among others, he was told by the FBI after several weeks - that they were trying to work through something complicated and difficult. Daniel Hopsicker, a former Producer at PBS Wall Street Week and investigative report at NBC News, decided to investigate. After pressing an official at the Defense Department, he was finally told: I do not have the authority to tell you who attended which schools in other words, terrorists did train at secure US military installations, but who trained where is none of our concern. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that these people were, for reasons undisclosed, protected.

YouTube - WTC 7 - Pull It By Larry Silverstein
1. A building owner would never be in a position to dictate to fire personnel or emergence workers whether his building should be "pulled" or demolished.
2. We have never, ever heard the term "pull" being used to refer to the explosive demolition of a building, and neither has any blast team we've spoken with. The term is used in conventional demolition circles, to describe the specific activity of attaching long cables to pre-weakened building and maneuvering heavy equipment (excavators, bulldozers, etc.) to "pull" the frame of a structure over onto its side for further dismantlement. The author and our research team were on site when workers pull over the six-story remains of WTC-6 in late fall 2001, however, and we can say with certainty that a similar operation would have been logistically impossible at Ground Zero on 9/11, physically impossible for a building the size of WTC 7, and the structure did not collapse in that manner anyway.

Utilizing a total of 137 pounds of linear shaped charges and 50 lbs of dynamite kicker charges, CDI worked in only the partial basement to the west, the Lobby Level and 4th floor of the structure. Placed in over 400 locations, the shaped charges were sequentially initiated over a period of 5.4 seconds, working from southwest to northeast through the structure. Following the seemingly endless 2.6 second natural pause in the non-electric initiation system, the structural charges detonated on cue, allowing the southwest wing of the structure to fail first, creating the desired lateral pull on the north and east curtain walls.

Nonstructural ramps, slabs, and siding were removed to reduce the amount of debris that fell to the ground.
Explosives were placed in the structure at key locations.
Demolition of the main structure occurred in two phases of a single implosion sequence. Explosives in the Phase 2 areas were detonated several seconds after Phase 1.
Special material wrapped the structure at the blast points to control the explosion.
Small explosions fractured the rigid concrete allowing the structure to buckle and fall. The flexible rebar remained intact, acting like ropes to pull the columns toward the center.
Gravity did most of the work.
Phase 1 continued to fall, helping to pull Phase 2 in. Phase 2 was detonated several seconds later and collapsed and fell the same as Phase 1.
More explosions further fractured the concrete into smaller pieces.

Environmental remediation and implosion preparation activities commenced in October of 2003. CDIs project manager spent several weeks on site leading up to the implosion, coordinating Omegas performance of preparation activities alongside CDIs in-house drilling crew.
Local restrictions prevented delivery of explosives until January 15th, just three (3) days prior to the implosion. Initially, CDI had planned to perform a test shot early that morning to finalize load ratios for selected columns and shear walls. As the final paperwork on the sale of the property from Charles E. Smith to WCI had not yet been finalized, and Charles E. Smith didnt want any test blasts performed until after they had closed the deal, CDI had to hold off until the property closing was completed. Just after noon, the final "ts" were crossed and is were dotted and CDI was permitted to load and test blast four typical interior columns and two (2) shearwalls on the Lobby and 2nd floor of the structure.
Following a review of the test shot results, CDIs 8-person explosives team went to work full-speed, loading 1,227 holes on seven (7) floors of the structure to maximize fragmentation to accommodate DPCs/Omegas fast-track concrete crushing and debris recycling program.
CDI detonated a total of 475 pounds of explosives over fifteen (15) major delays, taking a total of 7.5 seconds for the complete initiation sequence.
Strategically-placed ¾ cables were placed to pull the structure away from the A-1-A Bridge, adjacent to the west end of the structure, as well as away from the sea wall along Haulover Inlet on the north side of the site.
I agree bad taste, but what if a plane landed in your house and took it out? Would you not want compensation from the company that took your house out? Now image if your house is worth billions of dollars, in which your insurance company runs to the hills instead of paying?
