The history of the proof was described in detail by its author and editor Wall Street Journal Dean Rothbart in his book September Twelfth – the book detailing the stories of those who worked at the Wall Street Journal headquarters located directly across the street from World Trade Center.
THE Rothbart explains that its then editor-in-chief Wall Street JournalJoanne Lipman, went to the Lechters Housewares store located in its entrance World Trade Center to buy her daughter Rebecca Distler a birthday present.
Rotbart notes that Rebecca had asked her mom for “fridge magnets for her locker” at her new school.
“When [η Lipman] he spotted a violin shaped magnet he knew would be perfect for rebecca. Lipman also got a magnet in the shape of a foldable cell phone” reports PR Newswire.
However, as she waited to pay, Lipman reportedly heard a “commotion” and saw security ushering people out of the building as a panicked crowd had already started running.
The cashier suggested they “get out of there,” but determined to get her daughter her magnets, Lipman reportedly pressed to pay for them. In the end, it appears he paid with a $20 bill and received $9.17 in change along with the receipt, which he reportedly has kept to this day.
