Trophy buildings
Since the attack on the World Trade Center three years ago tomorrow, other prominent buildings on the city's skyline have been identified as possible terrorist targets. With such a stigma, does anyone want to work in these high-profile buildings anymore? Marketplace's Bob Moon reports.
