World Trade Center Employee Discusses pre 9/11 Power Downs

NEW YORK — A new witness confirms the WTC power down on the weekend before 9/11.
Gary Corbett is a former employee ofFiduciary Trust Company International, a bank that occupied the 90th and the 94th to 97th floors of World Trade Center Two (the South Tower) and which lost 96 employees during the September 11 attacks. Corbett, who worked on the 97th floor, says there was a ‘power down’ on the week-end prior to September 11 for approximately 24 to 36 hours. During this period, he says, “there was a complete breakdown of security that weekend because of the power down.”
According to Corbett, the power down started on Friday night, at close of business and only came back on Sunday afternoon.
This corroborates the information by another former WTC employee, Scott Forbes who went public in 2004 to talk about this mysterious power down in the World Trade Tower 2. Forbes said they had been notified 3 or 4 weeks in advance by the Port Authority-NY/NJ about this power down and that it was “extreme and unprecedented.” He also said that “without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many ‘engineers’ coming in and out of the tower.”
“You have to understand how unprecedented the power down was. To shutdown all of our financial systems, all inter-related and with
connections and feeds to may outside vendors and suppliers was a major piece of work. Additionally, the power outage
meant that many of the ‘ordinary’ building features were not operating, such as security locks on doors, cameras, lighting, etc.”
—Scott Forbes, former WTC employee
Scott Forbes says he “sent emails and letters to the 9/11 commission and the Port Authority of NY/NJ, without response“. This ‘power down’ event has never been investigated by the 9/11 Commission. We leave it to you to judge whether or not this should have been investigated by the 9/11 Commission, or not.

Email excerpt sent by Scott Forbes in April 2004:
On the weekend of 9/8,9/9 there was a 'power down' condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approx 36hrs from floor 50 up. I am aware of this situation since I work in IT and had to work with many others that weekend to ensure that all systems were cleanly shutdown beforehand ... and then brough[t] back up afterwards. The reason given by the WTC for the power down was that cabling in the tower was being upgraded ... Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower. I was at home on the morning of 9/11 on the shore of Jersey City, right opposite the Towers, and watching events unfold I was convinced immediately that something was happening related to the weekend work ... I have mailed this information to many people and bodies, including the 9/11 Commission but no-one seems to be taking and registering these facts. Whats to hide?
