In November 1988, Salomon Brothers withdrew from plans to build a large new complex at Columbus Circle in Midtown, and agreed to a 20-year lease for the top 19 floors of 7 World Trade Center.[26] The building was extensively renovated in 1989 to accommodate the needs of Salomon Brothers. This led to the alternative naming of the building as the Salomon Brothers building.[27]
''This is a reaffirmation of our commitment to New York City,'' said John H. Gutfreund, Salomon's chairman. The company said its traders, investment bankers, research analysts and similar workers would move to 7 World Trade Center in 1990, leaving 1,800 others, mainly computer operators and clerical staff, at other sites in lower Manhattan

At the time of the September 11, 2001, attacks, Salomon Smith Barney was by far the largest tenant in 7 World Trade Center, occupying 1,202,900 sq ft (111,750 m2) (64 percent of the building) which included floors 28–45.[13][14]
Differing times are given as to what time the building completely collapsed:[40] at 5:21:10 pm EDT according to FEMA,[5]:23 and at 5:20:52 pm EDT according to NIST.[6]:19, 21, 50–51 There were no casualties associated with the collapse.[39] NIST found no evidence to support conspiracy theories such as the collapse being the result of explosives; it found that a combination of factors including physical damage, fire and the building's unusual construction set off a chain-reaction collapse.[41]
The period of the First Temple ended in 586 BCE when the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple of Solomon, and deported the elite of the population to Babylon (the "Babylonian exile").[1] In 539 BCE Babylon itself fell to the Persian conqueror Cyrus, and in 538 BCE the exiles were permitted to return to Yehud medinata, as the Persian province of Judah was known.[2] The Temple is commonly said to have been rebuilt in the period 520–515 BCE, but it seems probable that this is an artificial date chosen so that 70 years could be said to have passed between the destruction and the rebuilding, fulfilling a prophecy of Jeremiah.[3][2][4]
The Book of Haggai is a book of the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, and has its place as the third-to-last of the Minor Prophets. It is a short book, consisting of only two chapters. The historical setting dates around 520 BCE before the Temple has been rebuilt.[1]
Haggai reports that three weeks after his first prophecy, the rebuilding of the Temple began on September 7 521 BCEhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Haggai
The Twin Towers II (also known as Twin Towers 2, New Twin Towers, Trump Twin Towers[a] and World Trade Center Phoenix[b]) was a proposed twin-towered skyscraper complex which would have been located at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan, New York City.[3] The proposed complex would have replaced the former Twin Towers of the World Trade Center destroyed in the September 11 attacks, restoring the skyline of the city to its former state.[4] The main design for the proposed complex would feature new landmark twin towers, nearly identical to the originals designed by Minoru Yamasaki,[5] though it would feature 115 stories—5 floors taller than the originals, among other differences.[6] Beside the towers, an above-ground memorial would have occupied the footprints of the original towers.[7] The new site would also have featured three 12-story buildings, replacing the original 3, 4 and 5 World Trade Center.[8] The complex was designed and developed by American architect Herbert Belton[9] and American engineer Kenneth Gardner,[10] and sponsored by Donald Trump.[11][12]
The Sphere is 25 feet (7.6 m) high and cast in 52 bronze segments. Koenig considered it his "biggest child". It was put together in Bremen, West Germany and shipped as a whole to Lower Manhattan.[2]
The artwork was meant to symbolize world peace through world trade, and was placed at the center of a ring of fountains and other decorative touches designed by WTC architect Minoru Yamasaki to mimic the Grand Mosque of Mecca, Masjid al-Haram, in which The Sphere stood at the place of the Kaaba.[3] The structural engineers who took a part on this project was Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA), who helped make the globe able to rotate once every 24 hours.
