Giving the relevance my thesis had to the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan, I was hopeful that LMDC will hear me. When they didn't, I turned to the media. The media was eager to broadcast the rebuilding news. I spread the word and mass e-mailed many media outlets. Something in common in all the inquiries and the responses that I received they were all from CBS News.
Almost immediately after I started to contact the media, I received an e-mail from 60 Minutes II. Couple months later veteran reporter Morry Alter of WCBS was supposed to come to report my story yet called at the last minute to cancel. Short time later I received another phone call from WCBS. As months went by and I couldn’t find a job to do architecture I started to drive a limo and that is when the most important coincident of all happened. I got a call to drive a passenger and the passenger was the iconic Mike Wallace of CBS News’s 60 Minutes.
This chapter tells the story of those few coincidents and details the presentation that I prepared for Morry Alter which was the first time I configured my thesis according to the situation of Lower Manhattan after September 11.
