> [@Habeed](#): > > An attempted alien invasion is a military assault by a foreign power. Insurance doesn’t cover those. The Federal government and FEMA might. (for example, the Federal government gave a chunk of change to every relative of a victim in the world trade center since this was an attack that the federal government was theoretically supposed to have prevented, and also because the stated reason for the attack was as retaliation for actions taken by the federal government…) Nitpick: the 9/11 compensation fund was to indemnify the victims against the airlines, not the federal government. The airlines and their insurers would have been bankrupted by the tort litigation otherwise. ---
