Off topic... heck, it's Sunday. Mike, >> (lost my car in the bombing) << My accountant lost his car there, too. He jokingly <?> sent me a T&E voucher for it, claiming it as an expense while he was visiting my office. At the time we were consulting and co-marketing with the Dataport folks who maintained the storage vaults in the sub-basement under north tower. The blast was the cause for considerable publicity for our disaster recovery consulting, with interviews coming in from as diverse a variety of newsrooms as Washington DC. and Tokyo, as a result of the relationship. The subterranean Dataport (since acquired by ARCUS Security) didn't even feel the hit, they just saw the fluorescents and some of the incandescents in one of the storage areas flicker for a few seconds while the power grid switched to an alternate substation, and the building generators kicked in. They were three levels down, separated by a 30' wall of steel and concrete from the south tower, in what was once an old fuel storage tank area for the now-defunct NY-NJ Transit line. The latter was more recently replaced by the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) Line. They were strategically situated, housing all of the back up tapes and storage files for many of the banks and securities houses on Wall Street and beyond, in an area the size of a soccer field. One of their tag lines prior to the bombing was that the site was bomb-proof. Unfortunately, they had an opportunity to prove that they were right. Regards, Frank Coluccio
