Historical Notes
Before the 1993 bombing, the garage under the World Trade Center provided parking for up to 2,000 vehicles. This parking permit belonged to Robert (Bob) DiChiara, who took his first job at the World Trade Center soon after it was built, starting as an Electrical Supervisor. By 2001, he was an Executive Vice President at the World Trade Center Association.
