Not to sound troll-like, but my father and stepmother used to live in the building next to the world financial center, near the former WTC towers. They complained, and rightly so, of the venturi effects created by the structures. You could hear the howl of wind using the elevators in their building, yet it was eerily calm on the other side of the towers. So, you're more right than you think.
