Here a fucked up fact. I worked for a company who had Datacenter 1 in Tower 2 and Datacenter 2 in Tower 1. We lost both datacenters along with most IT personnel that day. Hundreds of people lost. After that, our DR plans had to include “all hands lost” as part of the scenarios. Before 9/11, the thought of losing everything and everyone never crossed most IT departments’ minds.
Ouch. I have to ask, why did they number them that way vs numbering them according to the tower #?
But yeah, our data redundancy and contingency policy and SOP requires our offsites to be at least 50 miles away from each other. It’s not due to a specific concern for terrorist attacks, it’s mainly focused on natural disasters. But I feel like it also reduces the risk of man-made attacks.
There’s actually another backup in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It’s half scale size of one of them so you could say it’s ¼ scale. The weirdest part is there is an art sculpture in front of the building of a giant black cloud and on one side it has people and then on the other side towards the building it has a bunch of airplanes that get continuously less and less organized as they go down. I lived there for a long time before I realized that that sculpture was installed well before 9/11. It’s also installed in a thing we called the center of the universe where there is an acoustic anomaly set up in the cloud has a giant knocker on it too that you can make incredibly loud booms with. I wrote up a big conspiracy thing about it long time ago somewhere on Reddit LOL.
Good thing they made two of them so if anything happened to one they have the other as backup.

Edit for those curious, here is the write up I made on Reddit years ago about this.
