Complex Numbers

WTC

14. I stood atop the World Trade Center when there was a World Trade Center. I don't remember if it had a 13th floor.

Actually, I was there two or maybe three times. Fantastic view when the weather was clear.

It took some creative Googling, but I found out about the 13th floor thing:

Both towers of the World Trade Center had occupied 13th floors and, ironically, after hijacked planes slammed into the twin towers on that fateful day, media accounts of harrowing escapes told of many rescues from the 13th floor of both the North (1 World Trade Center) and South (2 World Trade Center) towers.

For those survivors, luck began on the 13th floor.

And that's my last word on the number 13... for now
