Twin Towers - Before One World Trade Center

Before the One World Trade Center spire dominated the New York City skyline there were the Twin Towers. Every part of the city was a showcase for the towers. Osama bin Laden knew the importance of the towers and how they stood as a symbol of American success and prosperity. September 11, 2001 they became a target. Thousands died when the buildings collapsed. The new spire stands at 1776 feet as a statement of American resolve. ALSO:
