American Airlines is releasing a preliminary, partial passenger list and a crew list for its flights involved in yesterday’s terrorist attacks."
On september 12, 2001, United Airlines published on their official website ual.com a list of the names of human beings aboard flights 175 and 93 who perished on 9/11. It contained the name of Ed Felt:

"
With deep sadness, United Airlines now is confirming a partial list of the names of passengers and a full list of crew members onboard UA Flights 93 and 175. Both aircraft were confirmed to have crashed in yesterday's unprecedented acts of terrorism."
Insurances have paid half a billion US$ to the two airline companies for the loss of 4 planes:

"
the Insurance Information Institute estimates that the total insurance loss from September 11 will ultimately be about $40.2 billion dollars.
...
The I.I.I. estimate of $40.2 billion dollars in insured losses includes:
...
* $500 million (1 percent) in hull claims for the loss of the four commercial aircraft."
The presentations that are linked as Exhibits of the Prosecution to the Moussaoui-trial bear the company logos of United Airlines and American Airlines. As you know, jammonius, the use of such trademarks is restricted and requires the acceptance of the owner. Do you understand what that means? It means that the passenger data published by the United States District Court Eastern District of Virginia is authorized by the two companies where the data originated.
Greetings Oystein and Bardamu,
Pardon the delay in joining in on the discussion had on the hull insurance payout aspect of the above post.
Bardamu has already called attention to the lack of detail concerning any actual insurance payouts to airlines for losses of aircraft.
See:

Bardamu points out that the article linked by Oystein does not refer to any actual payout. Rather, the article speculates on what might be paid out.
The direct quote is:
"One year after the terrorist attacks in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, the Insurance Information Institute estimates that the total insurance loss from September 11 will ultimately be about $40.2 billion dollars.
...
* $11 billion (27 percent) in claims for business interruption; * $10 billion (25 percent) in liability claims; * $6 billion (15 percent) in property claims for damage to property, including vehicles, other than World Trade Center buildings One and Two; * $3.5 billion (9 percent) in property claims for WTC buildings One and Two; * $3.5 billion (9 percent) for aviation liability; * $2.7 billion (7 percent) in life insurance claims; * $2 billion (5 percent) for workers compensation claims; * $1 billion (2 percent) in claims for event cancellation and * $500 million (1 percent) in hull claims for the loss of the four commercial aircraft."

OK, so far; but, what was actually paid out; to whom, in what amount, from what source?
Oystein doesn't say. And, the information about payouts does not seem to have been of much interest to mainstream media.
In fact, we can find sources claiming that insurance rates went up after 9/11 and that "terrorism" was excluded from coverage, of course, but that doesn't tell us anything about 9/11 payouts:
"A final insurance product a shop manager may want to consider is insurance for acts of terrorism. Since 9/11 and the Patriot Act, the definition of terrorism has changed. If you read most policies, they will have an exclusion clause for terrorism. Terrorism, today, includes things as simple as acts of sabotage from disgruntled employees. If a loss occurs as the result of something like this, and you are not covered for acts of terrorism, your other policies will leave you without coverage."

Victims Family member Ellen Mariani was one of the few who called attention to the passage of the $10billion airline slush fund right after 9/11, an amount that far exceeded the amount set aside for victims. And, as we know, just this week victims were again shafted by Congress, but not the airlines:
"On September 22, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act ("Act") (Public Law 107-42). The Act establishes the Air Transportation Stabilization Board ("Board"). The Board may issue up to $10 billion in Federal credit instruments, e.g. (loan guarantees)."

What was that $10billion really for? Was it hush money?
There is a lot more than meets the eye in the discussion of insurance payouts, posters, lurkers and victims family members.
Many thanks to Bardamu for bringing this up and running with it.
** Note: For as important a topic as 9/11 insurance payouts might seem to be, it is noteworthy that Oystein links us to a prnews source. Wasn't that topic of interest to wide-distribution mainstream media, one wonders?
