About three weeks prior to 9/11 our company, along with many others in the towers, were given notice that there was going to be a power down in the top 50% of floors in the southern tower. This was unprecedented. As you can imagine our financial institutions in the building and to have a complete loss of power meant a complete loss of system. And for an organization like my company it was truly extraordinary.
The power down was on a Saturday and Sunday, prior to 9/11, so that would have been the 8th and 9th. We were given three weeks notice. It was relatively short period to make all of the preparations needed. It was unprecedented we’ve never experienced a power down in the towers as far as I am aware.
