Here is the coincidence.

On March 11, 2004, 911 days since the WTC, the same people who bought the World Trade Center during July 2001 purchased the Sears Tower from MetLife.  The buyers are Lloyd Goldman, Joseph Cayre and Jeffrey Feil, prominent but secretive Manhatten landlords.  The Sears Tower is also 110 stories and was worth $911 million as of 9/11.  Goldman and Cayre joined Larry Silverstein in buying WTC for $3.2 billion during July 2001.
