They rolled the internal clock, the elevator went up, came down and >turned itself off. When they went back into the system to turn the clock back to present time, >the embedded chip would not take. What was supposed to be a 2 hour test, turned into a >lengthly night run to remove the embedded chip, find a replacement and set the new embedded >chip before the work day began. For clarity and details about the test procedures that they >used, I would advise contacting the World Trade Center directly.
