Silverstein's bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001, seven weeks before the buildings were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

One hell of a job to set up a demolition in the middle of chaos.
I wonder if he had a demolition permit. I also wish I knew how to get such a permit on such short notice.
