One day we had two of the busiest centers in the United State. two buildings that provided jobs for over 50,000 workers, from financial investments experts, insurance brokers, and bankers, to sale associates, concierge, and janitors. Those two buildings provided countless services to the community, and to the world since day one, even before it was open, “More than 10,000 workers were involved in building the World Trade Center complex” (“World Trade Center”, Par.1). The well-known landmark, the North and the South towers of the World Trade Center complex, were a massive investment to the United State that cost $400 Million and 7 years to build (from 1966 to 1973).

Before the attack the twin towers were a big attraction for tourist from all around the world, there were over 200,000 visitors a day that visit the World Trade Centers for business or for entertainment. (“World Trade Center.”, ch2)
The two towers were designed in a very creative way where they have an empty perimeter tube, and the shell of the building is the strongest structure that will hold the building together and to stand still against the wind and the other environmental impact on the building. In the article “Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? Science, Engineering, and Speculation” that was written by Thomas W. Eagar and Christopher Musso there was plenty of details about the unique design of the twin towers, and how it was designed to hold against a full large plane …show more content…
Nineteen men got on commercial airplanes, like anyone else, but with vicious ideas. They knew they will not see the daylight again, neither their fellow passengers on that airplane. Those men hijacked several airplanes to destroy their target, the world trade center, leaving total of 2,977 deaths “in New York City, Washington, DC and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.”(“September 11th Terror Attacks Fast Facts”, Par.1) according to CNN, “2,753 people were killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 were intentionally crashed into the north and south towers or as a result of the crashes. Of those who perished during the initial attacks and the subsequent collapses of the towers, 343 were New York City firefighters, 23 were New York City police officers and 37 were officers at the Port Authority. The victims ranged in age from two to 85 years. At the Pentagon in Washington, 184 people were killed when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building. And near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, 40 passengers and crew members aboard United Airlines Flight 93 died when the plane crashed into a field. It is believed that the hijackers crashed the plane in that location, rather than their unknown target, after the passengers and crew attempted to retake control of the flight deck” (“September 11th Terror Attacks Fast Facts”, Par.2).
