Building 1 and 7 WTC were even filming locations for the Condor movie.

> Just watched Three Days of the Condor. Weirdly prescient, or at least coincidentally intriguing, film . Not an unlikely candidate as intentional reference for BE. There are at least 2 oddly lingering shots of the twin towers and possibly building 7. The Sterling Hayden reference is indirect. John Houseman plays a leading director in the CIA and tells a Cliff Robertson that he worked for the OSS in WW2 on a ship in the Adriatic with a hollywood movie star, which is what Hayden did.

> If anyone has never seen the movie - I hadn't - it is damn good, one of Sydney Pollack's several excellent movies and a bit spooky because it has the CIA killing some of their own in NYC in a secret plan to grab oil in the middle east, with the World Trade center towers appearing in at least 2 shots.
