@Caaareful Shopper Slightly off topic, but 100 Church Street was where my last office was located before I retired in 2020.  I didn't work there in 1993; I was working in midtown then.  However in late 1999 I got a job downtown on Rector Street and we moved to 100 Church in 2014.  Small world.

It was a horrible thing, but I'm not sure I ever heard a confirmation of who actually was behind this.   There were a few theories, but that came later.

I totally forgot that the week previous I hung out with my other half as he babysat a moving project, we were all over the garage areas of the WTC. Who knew that they would be destroyed a week later

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing resulted in the arrest and conviction of four main perpetrators—

Mahmud Abouhalima, Ahmad Ajaj, Nidal Ayyad, and Mohammed Salameh—who were sentenced to 240 years in prison. Mastermind Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was captured in 1995 and sentenced to life, while driver Eyad Ismoil was also convicted. "

I worked in the WTC and I remember it like it was yesterday.  It happened in the garage and I was at my desk.  And then there was 9/11 - also still worked at the WTC.  I will never, ever forget.

I believe the sentences were reduced but all will still be 90-100 years old even if released. They are there for life regardless of any reduction in sentences.
