That in itself is extremely coincidental, but I guess it is possible that someone may have just wanted to gamble that just those two particular airlines would see their stocks tumble in the next few days. It is possible. But what happens when you add in the same level of put options placed on Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Merrill Lynch, who were hit hard by the WTC collapse, you add a second coincidence that just doesn't add up. Finally, the body that would have been able to track and prosecute potenital fraud like this was housed WTC7 and saw all of their filings and computer systems destroyed. And as luck would have it, they did not have backups of any of the data stored off site. Coincidence number three. Does that add up?
Sure, I can say the terrorists put the options in can't I?
