Silverstein destroys his own building for the insurance money and to avoid renovation costs?

This is insane.

He's only getting half the insurance money.

He has other buildings in the area that were threatened by the collapse.

3 1/2 years later and there's no construction except at 7.

There are thousands of buildings in NYC with asbestos; no owner destroys their building to get out of hte liability. They seal the asbestos. Why buy the towers in the first place then? Even a third rate engineering report would reveal the problem. Destroying the building and releasing the asbestos so you can be subject to class action lawsuits is not a good idea.

This theory is a nice way to devalue and deflect a legitimate inquiry tough. Gee, who would want that?
