Watch Modern Marvels. The Original WTC had more US-based businesses than foreign ones. This was a main reason it were attacked. It represented American commerce more than world commerce. Just take a look at which kind of firms were the largest tenants of each building starting with the former WTC 7

Here are a list of tenants for the Twins

I agree with you about the firms you listed, but they weren't anywhere near as numerous as those that were American.
