An airborne terrorist attack on the New York’s World Trade Centre Twin Towers was predicted by a hero who died saving 2,700 people from the September 11 outrage, it emerged today.

US-based Enron Corporation, once the world’s largest energy trader, slid toward bankruptcy in one of the most spectacular downfalls Wall Street has ever seen after its would-be rescuer Dynegy Inc. backed out of an $8.4bn deal to take it over.

The US Government is investigating trading in shares of 38 companies, including major airlines, cruise lines, General Motors and Raytheon, to determine if people used advance knowledge of the terror attacks to profit.
