World Trade Center, NYC


Tragedy! The World Trade Center has been destroyed by terrorist
attacks on September 11, 2001


The World Trade Center is a complex of 7 buildings of which the Twin
Towers are best known. The two towers are different in height, the
first one, built in 1972 being 417 meters and the second one,
finished on year later measures 415 meters. The One World Trade
Center was the highest building in the world until 1974, when the
Sears Tower was built in Chicago. Today, the Twin Towers still rank
in the top 10 of the highest buildings in the world and dominate the
skyline of lower Manhattan.

The Building has never received the attention the Empire State
Building gets, but it suddenly became world news when, on friday
Feb. 23, 1996 at 12:18, a bomb exploded in the World Trade Center.
The explosion, destroying 5 floors in the 110 story building,
including the central commando center, trapped about 50,000 people,
killed 6 and wounded at least 1000 people. Moslem fundamentalist
have been convicted for the bombing.

The World Trade center was a project started up in 1960 by David
Rockefeller. The towers are sometimes nicknamed David and Nelson,
the Rockefeller brothers. The design came from Minoru Yamasaki and
Emery Roth & Sons. Most people don't see the monolithic Twin Towers
as great architecture, but it certainly is a great engineering feat.
