The World Trade Center, located in Lower Manhattan, New York City, was a symbol of global commerce and economic prowess. Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, the Twin Towers—each standing at 110 stories tall—were completed in 1973. Upon their completion, they became the tallest buildings in the world, representing a beacon of innovation and progress. The World Trade Center complex housed a variety of businesses, government offices, and international organizations, serving as a hub for trade and finance. Tragically, on September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were the target of a terrorist attack when hijacked planes were flown into them, resulting in their collapse and the loss of thousands of lives. This event profoundly altered the course of history, leading to significant changes in global security measures and reshaping the geopolitical landscape. Despite their destruction, the World Trade Center continues to hold a place in the hearts of many as a symbol of resilience and unity.
