The owners of Zuccotti Park - Occupy Wall Street's home base - have pocketed nearly $700,000 in government handouts since the 9/11 terror attacks.

Brookfield Properties has received at least three six-figure grants meant for small businesses hurt by 9/11, even though it's an $8 billion company with 2,500 employees, records show.
