The Twin Towers, also known as the World Trade Center, were a complex of seven buildings located in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The complex was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki and was completed in 1973. The Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their completion and became an iconic symbol of New York City.

The Twin Towers consisted of two identical towers, each standing at 110 stories tall. The towers were constructed with a steel frame and a curtain wall made of aluminum and glass. The towers were connected by a skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors, which was open to the public and provided stunning views of the city.

On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists who hijacked two commercial airplanes and flew them into the towers. The impact of the planes caused massive damage to the buildings, and both towers collapsed within hours of the attacks. The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and caused significant damage to the surrounding area.

In the aftermath of the attacks, the Twin Towers became a symbol of resilience and strength for the people of New York City and the United States. The site of the Twin Towers was cleared
