Security Alert Was Lifted Only Days Ago
From Times Wire Reports
The World Trade Center was destroyed days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the 110-story towers, security personnel said.
Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the last two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.
“Today [Tuesday] was the first day there was not the extra security,” Coard said. “We didn’t figure they would do it with planes.”
