John McClane, an off-duty NYPD officer that came to LA to spend Christmas with his estranged wife and children, managed to slip away from the terrorists and hide in the top five floors of the building, where he slipped around in the shadows, used his surroundings to his advantage and started a one-man war with the terrorists, destroying much of the building in the process, with no help from the LAPD (except Al Powell), who do not want to gamble with the lives of the hostages. Note this the first part of a three-part series on New York’s first comprehensive land use regulations, enacted in 1916. Construction on the World Trade Center began on August 5, 1966, but most of the work in the first two years was below street level. Although the group of terrorists appeared to be motivated by freeing political prisoners, they were actually after $640 million in negotiable bearer bonds and other valuables stored in the Nakatomi Corporation's vault and were planning on killing the hostages in an explosion so they could escape unnoticed.

On Christmas Eve, 1988, a group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber took the Nakatomi employees hostage during their Christmas party.

So well did they succeed that la Latino became the first skyscraper to be built in an extremely high seismic zone and survived the scourge of three earthquakes: a year after its inauguration, in 1957, the tower withstood an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale in 1985, another one measuring 8.1 and the most recent one, in 2017, measuring 7.1.

The unstable sandy subsoil on which the tower stands is pierced by more than three hundred concrete piles, Aztec-style, and the basements are completely hollow so that they act like the waterline of a ship and sway in rhythm with the ground.
