There is no question that these victims deserve better than what they
are receiving. I think the set amount of $1.65 Million is a good
amount, but to have them take off the amounts they receive from death
benefits, is absolutely ridiculous! They could easily sue the
airlines for more than they are being offered, but they are trying to
work something out that wouldn't harm them, or the economy. Also,
the fact that the government is not releasing the actual facts on
how, and what they will actually be paid out, is making them look
like the bad guys.
I think it is time that we step back, and look at what happened
again. These people were victims of our governments inability to
detect what was obvious to so many others, we were going to be
attacked. The government really didn't do their part on this.
Whether it be the CIA, or FBI, or whomever...it was the government in
the long run.
Time to issue these people their $1.65 Million each, and have no
questions asked. It would be in the best interest of a "Unified"
country. Instead of trying to turn the "non-victims" against the
real victims.
Make sure each victim is paid out accordingly, regardless of their
death benefits, and make sure that these, so called, charities pay
out as they had said they would. Once that is all said and done, I
don't think there is any reason to have additional problems, or
pay-outs.
They should have been somewhat prepared in case of an accidental
death, so they shouldn't really need more than we are set to give
them, along with what the charities are giving them. I can
understand that argument. However, for the airlines to deduct money
out of their pay-outs based on what they were already covered with,
is ridiculous!
