In the late 1950s the Port Authority took interest in building the trade centers and in 1962 chose the place on the west side of Lower Manhattan on a superblock bounded by Vesey, Liberty, Church and West Street. The Port Authority Envisioned a project with a total of 10 million square feet of office space. To achieve this, they had to consider more than a hundred different building to be knocked down before settling the twin towers and three lower-rise structures. The towers were going to rise to only 80-90 stories. Later they decided to construct them as the world's tallest buildings.(skyscraper.com) On September11, 2001 a attack on New York’s tallest building. The twin towers were hit really in the morning, about the time you would be getting to school. This building had up to 90 floors, with about 20 to 30 or more people on it. When the crash happened some people made it. More people die from the crash tough. People will remember this day forever. The effects after were sad. The families that had people that were in the plan and the building both have to deal with the death of their family. There were many that lost the only person they knew. Others didn’t meet that person yet and died a lonely person. People are having still not over it and will never be. This covered the entire down town. It took about a month or longer to clean this up. The families that were affected also helped. There were over a million people who helped clean. There is a beautiful memorial that the states payed for. Anybody can come in to visit the memorial is welcomed. Many people visit every year.
