Hi Knighty Tin; WTC had Cantor Fitzgerald's collection of Rodin art:
Art treasures lost in trade center rubble
...
Cantor Fitzgerald, the bond trading firm that lost 700 of its 1000 staff, housed one of the biggest collections of sculptures by Auguste Rodin.
Its founder, Gerald Cantor, fell in love with the giant piece Hand of God, which he saw in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and began collecting by buying a version of it soon after.
...
One artwork to survive has become almost an icon of the disaster. Double Check, by J Seward Johnson jun, a bronze sculpture of a businessman peering inside his briefcase, has been photographed, covered in dust, almost as an unofficial memorial to the dead office workers.

It seems like whenever I learn of a new WTC loss, no matter how trivial compared to the thousands of lives, I just get more pissed.
