TWIN TOWERS
In 1973, the Twin Towers were finished in Manhattan’s World Trade Center. They were 110 stories tall, and 50,000 workers filled the buildings. They were a tourist attraction and the center for the Financial District. But on September 11, 2001, one of the biggest tragedies in American history happened. Two planes were flown into the towers and nearly 3,000 people died in the terrorist attack.
When the towers fell down, the whole place became dark and smoky. The mayor didn’t know that the whole twin tower had come down. He thought it was just the radar system on the top of the building.
There are still many questions about the attack on the twin towers. We maybe still don’t know the full story.
The new One World Trade Center took ten years to be built. It opened on November 3, 2014. “The Freedom Tower” is 104 stories tall. It is the tallest building in the United States.
