The World Trade Center During Construction - 1971


                                                     World Trade Center



This is a photo I took of the World Trade Center while in the Army during the building construction phase. The photo was taken Saturday 15-May-1971 while flying down the Hudson River in a Chinook CH-47 helicopter from West Point to Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.

You can see through the buildings at a height of approximately 500 feet.

We were on our way to make a demonstration parachute jump on the parade grounds at the fort.
