In building 7 there were a number of decent inteligence officers killed. These were the ones that may create problems. In WTC 1 and 2 there were a few CEOs no doubt but the Main corporate CEOs were told to not turn up for work. |

LifeInDeath User ID: 844726 United States 03/20/2012 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I started working for Marsh & McLennan about six months after the 9/11 attacks. The company lost almost 300 workers that day, the first plane actually hit the MMC offices. While the offices in the WTC were not the main MMC headquarters (those were and are in Midtown Manhattan, where I worked), I can verify that top executives for the company were killed in the attacks. One in particular, a woman, don't remember her name 'cause she was before my time there, was hugely respected by many who ran that company. I remember at one particular company-wide meeting one of the other top execs. for the firm almost breaking down crying when talking about her and the attacks. Most of the people I worked with at MMC knew something on the order of two dozen people who died on 9/11, some at MMC, some at the several other insurance related companies that had offices there. A lot of these were more middle-level executives, too. Starting work there so soon after the attacks, it was constantly a major topic of conversation and very emotional for a lot of people at all levels of the company: regular "peasant" workers like me and executives, alike. Here's MMC's 9/11 memorial with the names of all those who died on that day, which is at their headquarters in Midtown Manhattan: [link to memorial.mmc.com] Last Edited by LifeInDeath on 03/20/2012 09:17 AM Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was as white as leprosy, The Night-Mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" |

The Head of Cantor Fitzgerald survived but some 700 employees did not. However, to be fair, it is common for C-level types to be out of the office frequently. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12832910 A lot of big American corporations had major offices in the towers. "World Trade Center" is just a name, but it was really just a very big pair of office towers. The companies in the towers were mainly major U.S. corporations like Marsh & McLennan, AON, Cantor Fitzgerald, etc. Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was as white as leprosy, The Night-Mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" |
