Computer models determined that the physical damage of the Chitauri invasion would be between $60 billion and $70 billion. Add in "economic and cleanup costs" of $90 billion and "the loss of thousands of lives" and you've got a bill of $160 billion, give or take. Um, does Odin the All-Father still cover his sons' expenses?



"For context, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks cost $83 billion, Hurricane Katrina cost $90 billion, and the tsunami in Japan last year washed away $122 billion," says THR, while adding, "KAC also predicts that liability would be a major issue. Who, exactly, will have to pay for the damage? S.H.I.E.L.D., they note, is likely protected as a government agency, though probes eventually will look into its role in predicting, preventing and responding to the invasion … Given the involvement of individuals considered deities in some cultures (Thor, Loki), there is even the potential to classify the event as an 'act of God,' though that designation would be subject to strenuous theological and legal debate."

Some light hearted news from Kinetic Analysis Corp. (a real-life firm that specializes in "disaster-cost prediction and assessment.) on their assesment of the damage caused on the Avengers. :D

Had a random scroll through and my cursor ended up on the following line:

"Cleanup from monster attacks and alien invasions often have complications not
found in natural catastrophes."

Amazing XD
