The Twin Towers

September 11, 2001 is a date sadly remembered by one of the biggest terrorist attacks of history - the fall of the Twin Towers. Much is talked about the attack, but how much do you know about the Twin Towers?

The Twin Towers was located in the World Trade Center, a site for various buildings from Lower Manhattan, New York City - US. The Twin Towers were the landmark of the site, being the most important building from there, and were opened in April 4, 1973. They were considered one of the 3 biggest building in the world. With the attacks of September 11, not only the Twins Towers were destroyed, but several other building were damaged as well - which were eventually destroyed. The complex is currently being rebuild though, with five new skyscrapers and a memorial to the causalities of the attack. So far, one of them has been completed - the others are expected to be ready before 2020. The image above shows the original World Trade Center in March 2001.
