Question

Can someone tell me about the history of twin towers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The two identical 110-story "Twin Towers" of the World Trade Center officially opened in 1973 and went on to become New York City icons and key elements of Manhattan's famous skyline. Once home to almost 500 businesses and approximately 50,000 employees, the World Trade Center towers were tragically destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Today, you can visit the World Trade Center site's 9/11 Memorial Museum and memorial to learn more about the attacks and for personal contemplation (and also admire the newly built One World Trade Center, which opened in 2014), but first: Read on for a brief Twin Towers history of Manhattan's lost icons.
