The answer, sadly, is Canadians:
9/11 and the mob
Oh this is going to be good, thorazine good!
By hitting the 89th floor of One World Trade Center, al-Qaeda?s first-time pilot hijacker of American Airlines Flight 11, managed to miss the Buttonwood Global Custodians’ offices on the 79th floor below, while killing all of their Cantor-eSpeed competitors on the 101st floor and above.
How cunning! What is Cantor Fitzgerald’s scheme for world domination?
Cantor Fitzgerald needs software and gets it from Aegis. If you click on www.aegisoft.com, you will discover that this company does not provide any normal way for anyone to contact them. Odd for the website of a standard normal company.
No normal way, if by normal you mean “to what frequency should I set my toaster so I can reach the operator?” In fact, they only provide this a.b. normal way:
How to Contact or Visit Aegis
Address: 14 Penn Plaza, 8th Floor
New York, NY 10122
Phone: (212) 268-3100
Fax: (212) 244-4119

How is any normal person supposed to reach these shadowy figures?
Security Industry News notes in a brief story that Cantor Fitzgerald celebrated the passage of a measure its lobbyists drafted for the Nevada state legislature allowing the WiFi based mobile gaming devices in state casinos.
These no-good rascals got a piece of legislation passed, and then went on to celebrate that fact. Inconceivable!
A redux conclusion: It is even possible that this is not mob related?
If this is mob, did the mob know of the impending attack on 9/11? The terrorist-piloted plane hit Cantor Fitzgerald directly?one floor below where they were located. This would be the worst possible spot because the flames would go up and engulf everything. Could this really be only sheer coincidence? No suicide jockey flying a plane for the first time coincidentally hit right where the mob knew they would hit. [Emphasis added, assumption of facts not in evidence in the original.]
You know you’ve wandered off the reservation when the comment you get at Free Republic is:
Stuff like this gives the word “lunatic” a bad name…
