The World Trade Center

Most people will never forget the day September 11, 2001. This day was known as 9/11. Minoru Yamaski took a big part in the making of the World Trade Center(WTC).9/11 could very well be one of the worst days in American history. The (WTC) has become an important symbol to America since 9/11.

The WTC is a symbol of wealth in America. The WTC was the financial center of America. The WTC was bombed twice since the first opening. It was bombed once in 1993 .Eight years later was bombed again in 2001.

The WTC was made by a tube like structural design. The Building was 110 stories; both buildings were made between 1975 and 1981. There were two buildings, The North Tower, and The South Tower. Some people say The North Tower was taller than The South Tower. Minoru Yamaski made the design and helped with the building.

The WTC was attacked twice. Once in 1993, and once in 2001. February 26, 1993 a truck in underground parking lot was bombloaded with 1,500 lbs of explosives that were intended to knock The North Tower into The South Tower. It failed but killed 6 people and injured 1,042 people. The second bombing was in 2001(9/11). Some terrorists hi-jacked 2 planes and knocked the towers down. This killed many people and was successful.

The WTC is currently under reconstruction. It will be known as ‘One World Trade Center’ instead of ‘Freedom Tower’. They’re trying to re-open it in 2014. The makers might build a memorial for The World Trade Center.
