My cousin kept hard copies of important emails and other documents in a fire
resistant safe in his office in case of emergency.  The safe was lost along
with everything else on the 35th floor of building one at the World Trade
Center.  The day after 9/11/01 he went back to work at their backup facility
on Long Island.  The backup facility was created because of the 1993 WTC
garage bombing.
