    True that's why there's all that re-insurance going on..to ameliorate the risks. They never completely die however just get absorbed into "luckier" better financed entities. However yes not that's going to help an investor much if it happens. Still relatively infrequent though.

    So it does happen. Note I am not suggesting Tower will.
    But lets face it, insurance is a risky business.....
