[B]Would have loved it if the airline paid the E305 per night at the Renaissance. But they had more than a couple of thousand stranded passengers in AMS and were springing for nothing because they did not consider this to be anything that was their fault. Snow, hurricane, terrorism, all the same to them. Not their fault.

Why, then, was "the immediate financial damage incurred by KLM in the wake of the attacks [...] primarily caused by the loss of revenue ensuing from the cancellation of more than 100 flights to the United States, Canada and the Middle East, in combination with extra costs ensuing from the accommodation of stranded passengers"?
