It occurred to me not long after 9/11 that this was an ideal opportunity for somebody who had been in the Towers to just walk away and play dead. Now one case of that has actually been
confirmed. It isn't clear from the story that this person ever really was in the WTC - it seems he probably wasn't. But he pretended to be so that an ongoing criminal investigation of him would be dropped.
That at least I can understand. The disturbing part is that I found it looking to see if I could confirm this genuinely warped story I found at jekyl.com. (Jekyl has no permalinks.) I just have no comment on this one.
