After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.

    He didn’t “always” have breakfast at the north tower, he had breakfast at the north tower to meet new tenants so if he didn’t need to do that, he didn’t go. He didn’t go that morning because a dermatology appointment that had been made months in advance was that morning and his wife insisted he didn’t miss it.

    I think Larry is a typical billionaire, hurting those around him far and wide to increase profits but this is just another 0 effort CTRL-C/CTRL-V without any actual verification of the claim because it fits your worldview. There’s plenty to complain about him without regurgitating made up shit.

      The fact that he missed work isn’t made up shit. It is well documented. That is all that is being said here.

      Yeah but did you see his last name? /s

      I’m not one to cry antisemitism but this reminds me of the “no Jews died on 9/11” conspiracy theory that was way too big for awhile

          I am Jewish. Look at you trying to speak for me. But you didn’t know that, you can’t read minds over the internet like you think you can. You are just hurling insane accusations based on nothing. People also yell antisemitism over nothing now. You are disgusting.
