Glenn, Cantor Fitzgerald is the main clearing agent/MM for US Treas bond trading, they did $60 trillion in trades last yr. They were on several floors near the very top of Twr 1, the first one hit. They lost 600 of 960 people.

IMO it is nothing short of a miracle how their surviving employees voted to work through the night Wed and on Thursday and Fri so that trading of US bonds could resume. It likely could not have occured without them.

You can see the list of tenants of all the WTC towers on CNN web site.

I don't think you understand the magnitude of the interuption to US business this has caused.
