Discover the true story of the Twin Towers--how they came to be the
tallest buildings in the world and why they were destroyed.
When the Twin Towers were built in 1973, they were billed as an
architectural wonder. At 1,368 feet, they clocked in as the tallest
buildings in the world and changed the New York City skyline
dramatically. Offices and corporations moved into the towers--also known
as the World Trade Center--and the buildings were seen as the economic
hub of the world. But on September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack toppled
the towers and changed our nation forever. Discover the whole story of
the Twin Towers--from their ambitious construction to their tragic end.
