World Financial Center reported okay

I thought I'd mention that live WCBS reports says that, from the outside, it
appears not at all significantly damaged, after all.

Fan (NYUSFS?) Rachel Kadushin was working in the World Financial Center,
was evacuated, and walked home via the park (helping several people along
the way).

I'm very glad to hear that. I don't have strong memories of the WTC
per se, but I'm very fond of the WFC and would hate to have lost that,
too.

That's a relief. The Guardian Web site, when I checked a couple of hours
ago, said the WTC collapse and fires might have made the World Financial
Center structurally unsound.
I suspect they're going to keep it empty until they have time to worry
about it, which may be a few days.

If it has a few days. Reports seem to have buildings going down like
ninepins at the moment.

The designer firm was Cesar Pelli and Associates, by the way, who also
designed Petronas Tower. They are going to have to update the picture
on their web site, though, which shows the WTC in the background.

If you click through the immense (over a thousand pictures) slide show
on the Yahoo news site, you will find pictures of the beautiful atrium
of the WFC, the one full of indoor trees, clearly damaged and full of
fire-fighters. The building may remain standing, but its condition
doesn't look good.

According to their web site, they also designed Canary Wharf Tower.

Since its official name is the Cesar Pelli Tower, this seems likely.

Without looking at the Yahoo pictures, I *think* that that picture, or
a very similar one, is also part of the (much smaller) Time magazine
online photo essay (which can probably still be reached through
CNN.com).

One, Two, and Four World Financial Center are all owned by Brookfield
Properties (NYSE: BPQ). They also own One Liberty Plaza, another
building that has been reported as on the verge of collapse. Their
very visible public position, backed by consulting structural engineers,
is that there is no serious structural damage to any of their buildings.
See: http://www.brookfieldproperties.com/
Three World Financial Center is owned by American Express and was
reported as in danger of coming down. The N.Y. Times refuted this
in an article yesterday. Damage yes, but most of it appears to be of
the easily repaired type.
Cosmetic considerations aren't going to be top priority initially,
and I fully expect some of the aesthetics to be ruined by new security
measures. The prognosis could have been a lot worse.
