WTC World Trade Center Recovery 9/11 Piece Steel Ground Zero Cantor Fitzgerald
Cantor Fitzgerald and bgc commemorative box with world trade center steel. This special tribute was given to only employees families that lost a loved one that day with the engraved wording In Sincere Appreciation For Helping Our Friends and Families While Rebuilding Our Two Great Companies inside the lid. This is a striking 9/11 example from corporate America. The steel cube weighs 109.63 grams and measures 37.60 mm x 37.49 mm x 10.11 mm. Cantor Fitzgerald's corporate headquarters and New York City office, [7][8] on the 101st-105th floors of One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan (2-6 floors above the impact zone of a hijacked airliner), were destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks. Seconds after Cantor's building was struck by the plane, a Goldman Sachs server issued an alert saying that its trading system had gone offline because it wasn't able to connect with a Cantor server. [9][10][11] Cantor Fitzgerald lost over two-thirds of its workforce, considerably more than any of the other World Trade Center tenants or the New York City Police Department and New York City Fire Department.
CEO and chairman Howard Lutnick, whose brother was among those killed, vowed to keep the company alive, and the company was able to bring its trading markets back online within a week. On September 19, Cantor Fitzgerald made a pledge to distribute 25 percent of the firm's profits for the next five years, and committed to paying for ten years of health care, for the benefit of the families of its 658 former Cantor Fitzgerald, eSpeed, and TradeSpark employees (profits which would otherwise have been distributed to the Cantor Fitzgerald partners). Cantor has since rebuilt its infrastructure, thanks in part to the efforts of its London office, [14] and now has its headquarters in midtown Manhattan. The company's effort to regain its footing is the subject of Tom Barbash's 2003 book On Top of the World: Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick, and 9/11: A Story of Loss and Renewal.
