33. QUESTIONS 1.Do you believe that the jury was correct in stating that the 9/11 events were two occurrences as opposed to a single one (for insurance purposes)? 2.Given that 25% of the Port Authority annual budget is allotted toward rebuilding the World Trade Center Site, how important is it that the Port Authority completes construction by the expected date? 3.How do you think the major players (those involved in rebuilding efforts) could have better accommodated the victim's families to memorialize the World Trade Centers? 4.The One World Trade Center was redesigned for safety reasons. With the massive Transit Hub and the Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum located nearby, likely to attract hundreds of thousands of people to that location, is the redesign even relevant?
