PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA * 1972-2001
by; Dave Cole, Larry McWilliams & Phil Jayhan   NEW FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST PRESS RELEASE! *** With no budget for advertising, we are asking all of you to spread this link with as many people as possible! Please put this story up on your websites and blogs! Please make this go viral ASAP! We are already 9 years behind the 8 ball here. The following link is to a spreadsheet that the Lets Roll Forums obtained through a FOIA request made by Dave Cole. What we requested from the Port Authority of New York New Jersey was in essence a surprise occupancy audit of the World Trade Center. What we requested; 1. A complete listing of all occupants of the world trade center, from the time they were finished to the time they went private, in 2001. 2. Listing of occupants by floor and by space 3. Listing of occupants leases, with the start and end dates of those leases. What we received back was shocking and in no way anticipated. Please open this spreadsheet now in another browser tab, so you can have this open and go back and forth as your reading this story. (right click, open link in new tab) LETS ROLL PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA * 1972-2001 *** We make no claims other then these below. Another FOIA will be sent within the next few days, at which time we will then audit this list that we received against the new FOIA request for the same thing. NORTH TOWER - WTC 1 LANDMARK EDUCATION CORPORATION You might be surprised to discover that floor 7 of the North World Trade Center went completely unoccupied throughout the entire life of the building and was only rented out for the first time on 11/23/1998. Floor 7 was the floor directly above the lobby of each tower, in essence, it is floor #1, from street level. Floor 7 was prime real estate, as the rent was more expensive in the towers as you went higher. The prestige value. Thus floor 7 was far cheaper then floor 89. For 26 years, floor 7 of the North Tower was totally vacant. From 1972 until 1998. This also means that during the 1993 bombing that this floor was completely unoccupied. Larry will touch on this in a follow up post as he spent dozens and dozens of hours scouring these sheets with regards to the 1993 bombing vs. occupancy, and it is a top notch story all in it's own. This long streak of unoccupancy for floor 7 would come to a halt on November 23, 1998, when LANDMARK EDUCATION CORPORATION moved into suite #118. We were told through various sources that the world trade center had occupancy issues through the years, and suppose this highlights that issue. In summary floor #7 was unoccupied for 26 years, and not a single time in those 26 years did one of the elevators crack open on that floor, except for maintenance. Imagine the very first floor above the lobby as you walk into those magnificent buildings having cold bare unfinished floors for 26 years. No lights, no activity whatsoever. A dead floor. BANK OF AMERICA CORP Sometimes when things are just so bad, a billionaire needs to step in to save the day. Word must have finally reached David Rockefeller in 1993 that his precious Twins were repulsive real estate that apparently no one wanted, so he had his Bank, BANK OF AMERICA CORP. move into floors 9 & 10 of the North Tower in October and December of 1993, some 21 years after the WTC completion ceremonies. (lines 4 & 5 on the spreadsheet) Floor 9, Suite 901 - 10/8/1993 Floor 10, Suite 1001 - 12/5/1993 **The World Trade Center bombing happened on February 26, 1993 for your information. So lets recap here for a moment. The North Tower (think antenna, as it is the tower with the antenna) The North Tower, floor 7, went totally unoccupied until November of 1998, 26 years of vacancy. While floors 9-10 went totally unoccupied until late 1993, some 21 years of total vacancy, this bad spell of hard WTC luck would finally be broken by a merciful billionaire who we are told moved some of his Bank of America offices into the world trade center. This also means that for 28 years the elevators never once stopped at floor 7 of the world trade center, and the same goes for floors 9 and 10 until late 1993. These would have been closed floors and the elevators couldn't have even stopped, being electronically locked out. If I don't have your attention by now, it only gets better, just give it a little more time. Floor 11 of the North Tower went totally unoccupied until 1993, when David Rockefeller would step in again to save the day and pave the way by moving yet more Bank of America offices into the north tower. (line 11 of the WTC FOIA occupancy sheet) Please see lines 6 through 15 to see the other corporations we are told that followed David Rockefeller's charge. 8 other companies total we are told. We are also starting to see another pattern here, something which Larry researched and made known and will also be following up this post with. So far, during the 1993 bombing, floors 7-9-10 & 11 are unoccupied. ALL ABOARD! Next stop - Floor 12 The elevators never stopped at floor 12 of the north tower until David Rockefeller stepped in yet again to save the day on 9/13/1993, again, after the 1993 bombing. Bank of America would be the only alleged occupant of floor 12 during the entire life of the structure. Floor 12 went totally unoccupied for 21 years. (Reference line 16 of Occupancy FOIA) So now, at the time of the 1993 bombing, floors 7-9-10-11 & 12 were totally unoccupied. Are you wondering how long this pattern will continue? Nobody likes being on floor 13, the unlucky floor. And it wasn't any different at world trade north tower 1. David Rockefeller would step in to save the day yet again by moving more of his corporate offices into wtc 1, floor 13, on 4/8/1994. And also into floor 14 on 10/7/1994. Both floors 13 and 14 went totally unoccupied and vacant until 4/8/1994, the elevators never stopping there until then, we are to presume. Also after the 1993 bombing. So far we have floors 7-9-10-11-12-13 & 14 totally unoccupied at the time of the 1993 wtc bombing. And for the better part of the life of the towers as well. SANDLER ONEILL & PARTNERS Now that I whet your appetite, and set Larry up for his following story, lets press the elevator and go back down to the lobby and stroll on over to the South Tower and take a ride up to the top this time, stopping at floors 104, where we were told AON Corp and Sandler Oneill & Partners had offices. Please scroll down to line 906 and 907 on the Occupancy FOIA. Whats missing from this FOIA occupancy sheet? If your looking at lines 906 and 907, you should be seeing the name Sandler Oneill & Partners. Yet they are not listed. We requested in this FOIA all occupants of the world trade center, from the time they went up to the time they became private, 6 weeks prior to 9/11. Sandler Oneill & Partners are strangely absent from the list of occupants that had leases. They never had a lease. Go ahead and scour those sheets, feel free, you will not find them. The problem this raises immediately is how did 66 of their 171 employee's perish in a buiding that they never held a lease at during the entire life of the building? Larry discovered this. And this is the most singular significant discovery in this FOIA. A Corporation alleged to have lost 66 of its 171 employee's that never had a lease with the NYPANJ. The average payout from the victims compensation fund (VCF) was roughly 2 million dollars. This means at minimum Sandler Oneill and Partners "employee's" received roughly 132 million dollars from the government VCF. And probably a whole lot more because the average payout of the VCF was 2 million. This means some were much higher, and some much lower. The higher paid executives received more compensation the way the fund was set up. The more they made, the more their family, in theory would receive. The strangeness certainly doesn't end there for floor 104, WTC 1. We find on the Occupancy FOIA a corporation which isn't listed in most, if any of the other official lists made public through the years, at wiki and such. SHEARSON/LEHMAN BROS SHEARSON/LEHMAN BROS - Ring a bell anyone?
Many people are not aware that there was other emergency relief funds set up by the government after 911 besides the victims compensation fund. (VCF) The victim compensation fund was 7 billion dollars. There was also another much larger fund called the Business Compensation Fund. (BCF) There is probably good reason that you weren't aware of this fund. And that's because of its sheer size. 38.4 billion dollars was set aside for WTC corporations by government and insurance companies. This makes the total combined worth of both government funds to be roughly 46 billion dollars. The largest recipients of these funds were of course, investment Bankers. It was a pre-cursor to the leave no bank behind act Bush and Obama would later set up. And went to many of the same corporations. The mystery here with Shearson/Lehman of course is why they are not listed on most, or possibly any of the public lists that were peddled to us after 9/11 yet listed on this Occupancy FOIA? See note below. Sandler Oneill is listed at wiki. To see the link it is below picture. NOTE: Sandler Oneill and Partners are listed here at Wiki, though they are absent from the above picture. AON RISK SERVICES, INC. South Tower - (No antenna) WTC 2 According the Occupancy FOIA, AON Corp occupied 8 floors total in WTC 2, South Tower. 98-105 (please reference lines 895 to 909 of the occupancy FOIA) AON shared only floors 101 - 105 with Shearson/Lehman, with Shearson/Lehman alleged to have also occupied floor 106 by itself. Now for another jaw dropping eye opener; Lets dissect this Occupancy FOIA a different way now. Lets look at some of the high upper floors and see when the first time this prime NY office space was leased; WTC 1 - North Tower - FIRST TIME OCCUPANTS & DATES:
Occupancy Issues: What this shows us is something far different then we were told and sold. We have been told through various sources that their were occupancy issues with the twins and that they also had their highest occupancy at the time of the attacks, which we are told was at 95% occupancy. We were never informed that the most prime real estate in New York City, in both Towers, never leased until a year or two before 9/11, in most cases. Why? Because it would have been extremely suspicious to people, especially since all of the controversy the PTB knew would be after 9/11. Had they told us this, we would have started investigating the companies at the WTC and questioning their alleged employee losses a lot sooner then 9 years out. LAST MINUTE LEASING & STACKING OF WTC DECK How is it possible, especially considering what happened with the world trade center, to see that all of the upper floors were leased only a few years prior to 9/11? That's an incredible expanse of time, 26 years in most case, some 28 years, where for instance floor 88 had bare floors and no tenants until 1999. The elevators in the north tower never stopped at floor 88 until mid 1999. Might I ask at this time how it is possible that any lights were ever on on floor 88 before 1999? The entire tops of these towers should have been darkened at night between the years 1972 and 1997-98. There were no tenants. No tenants means no lights and dark floors, both during the day and at night, as lights in the WTC were visible in both daytime and night. This has all the appearances that the companies were moved into the towers at the very end for the very purpose of 9/11. Either in reality or on paper. These towers were nearly unoccupied for their entire life, and then miraculously found a 95% occupancy heart beat on in 2001, just prior to 9/11. PARADIGM CHANGER: This is one of those paradigm changers. What you know of the world trade center is a legend that was created and manufactured for your consumption. Any of the documentaries that were created prior to 9/11, about the world trade center, were created by the "builders" of the WTC, and made to create and sell a manufactured legend. The legend was that there were 50,000 people who worked in these towers by and large, for the better part of their life, as they were designed and built for. AS you have just seen, this isn't even remotely close to being true. Between Dave Cole, (kawika) Larry McWilliams and myself, we have spent hundreds of hours studying this occupancy FOIA request over the last 6 months or so, and we haven't even scratched the surface yet. We would like to request that all of you as a group take lots of time studying this so that collectively we miss nothing. This FOIA is a goldmine. It's the gift that keeps on giving, a mine that never runs dry. We believe that we have given you an accurate overview of the material so that you will know and be able to scour the spreadsheet as we did and know how to spot things. We need all of your help. To say that there were occupancy issues is a gross understatement. The official story seems more then just a little bit hollow. Cheers- Phil Jayhan, Dave Cole & Larry McWilliams Note: This story is the result of the FOIA we obtained and many months of research and thoughtful dissection of the material with many phone calls and off the charts collaboration.   ATTENTION: With an advertising budget of zero dollars we ask everyone who has websites and blogs to copy and paste these links into them as a directory, to help spread the word!

Re: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
Shortly after this FOIA was received, it struck me that the towers were still nearly empty at the time of the 1993 bombing (Feb, 26th). I sorted the tenants by lease date, to show any lease which was in effect at the time of the bombing.
The results were astounding. At the time of the 93 bombing, there were no tenants on any floors in the North Tower below the 33rd. Floors up through the 32nd were completely empty. We were told the towers were heavily occupied, and that evacuation was nearly impossible, when in reality, the Towers were sparsely occupied.      As you can see, the Towers were thinly populated. Many of the “survivors” of the 1993 bombing were apparently working for Companies who had no lease in the WTC at all. George Sleigh tells us he worked for the American Bureau of Shipping, and that in 93 they were located in the upper floors of WTC 2. His Supervisor, Claire McIntyre, tells us the same thing. According to this list, they were not at the WTC at all. At the time of the bombing in early 1993, according to this FOIA, there were only 19 tenants in the office portion of the North Tower (above the concourse floors and blow 110, which was transmitting equipment related to the rooftop antenna. This is a long way from the packed, bustling, heavily occupied Towers represented in all of the reports at the time. l __________________

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
You said in your list are all occupants.
wikipedia: Floor 14: 14 Instinet, Dun & Bradstreet (CS), Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Aeolian Shipping Company, C. Allen & Co., Hirshbach & Smith, S. Stern CHB, VanderGrift Forwarding wikipedia source: The tenant list below was compiled from the original list[2] provided[3] by CoStar Group (a provider of electronic commercial real estate information), and quoted by CNN and most media. 13/01/2011 15:49 UKStewart82 Unsure of the date of above screenshot. It's from IC911 FOIA Release. 13/01/2011 15:48 UKStewart82  Is there a chance to ask Port Authority again to confirm that this CoStar Group list is wrong or did have Bank Of America right to lease space on floor 14 again, without letting Port Authority to know. |

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
We make no claims, and submit this as is, with only our analysis and light commentary. I edited the original story to reflect these changes after your post smoke.

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
Got a oftopic question. Sorry for that, the question is in the picture!
And if it is ASBESTOS, are all these floors from top to bottom sprayed with ASBESTOS!   __________________

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
Great stuff guys. Is there any way to verify if even the stated tenants actually paid for their space? Did PA keep receipts?
I can provide a lease document that shows Microsoft is leasing my garage pretty easily, so the proof would be in the $$ records. I would say, however, that using the hollow tower pictures may not add to the topic, as those are allegedly from the 1970's. Am I wrong? |

I will later post a breakdown I did regarding floors 46 and 47, whose tenant placards were featured in the NIST release. Like the movie smoke em showed on 14, there are many discrepancies between the placards and the occupancy FOIA. My guess is that these were "show floors", and it was difficult to reproduce the same lie years later, but you may draw your own conclusions. l __________________

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
By using those photos it gives readers a better perspective of 'who was supposedly where'.
A clearer view of where the floors were 'occupied'. __________________

Re: PRESS RELEASE: World Trade Center Occupancy FOIA PANYNJ * 1972-2001
Welcome to "show floor" 47.
The photos we received from another FOIA from NIST, include these from the 47th floor of WTC 1.   Among the photos of floor 47 is this placard.  When I cross referenced the names on the placard against the names on the Tenant FOIA, the results were very interesting.  There were several companies on the FOIA that were not shown on the placard. There were several companies on the placard, who were not on the FOIA, including Tejas Securities, whose suite door is pictured above. Only 8 tenants out of a total pool of 17 show up on both the Tenant placard, and Tenant Lease. Things were absolutely not as they seemed at the WTC, at any time during it's history. l __________________
