I found it strange that one of the very first official statements made about the incident made it clear that the US Government was going to fund the rebuild (implying: instead of insurance companies as you’d expect).
I assumed it was either an oversimplification (ie Government pays upfront and seeks restitution after the fact) or an outright lie for political gain but that article suggests it’s for much darker reasons: to prevent private investigations. I’m not fully convinced but it’s an interesting angle.
