The tallest building in the world 51 years ago has disappeared for 23 years
Lady Liberty didn't look at her
The twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, the former tallest building in the world, began construction in 1966, completed in 1973, and collapsed on September 11, 2001.
Very straight
From completion to collapse, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center only existed for 28 years, collapsing in 2001 when they were hit by a terrorist hijacking plane.
Become one with the Statue of Liberty
The Twin Towers before they collapsed were the most famous skyscrapers in the world.
The internal penetration is very strong
The World Trade Center Twin Towers are divided into the South Tower and the North Tower, also known as the Sister Tower, except for the different heights, the appearance is exactly the same.
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center at dusk
At 110 stories and 417 meters tall, the World Trade Center was the tallest building in the world from the day it was built until the early '90s.
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center cover an area of 16 acres (about 58,000 square meters), which is very rare, and the building area is more than 900,000 square meters, including 840,000 square meters of office space.
More than 50,000 employees work in the World Trade Center every day, and more than 1,200 companies of all kinds are located in the center, and more than 80,000 visitors are received every day.
The entire World Trade Center cost more than $700 million, was designed by a Japanese designer, and took seven years to build.
There are 104 elevators for human use, and there is an underground parking lot with more than 2,000 parking spaces, which was quite prescient in those days.
The plane is about to collide
There are more than 20 restaurants in the building, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people at the same time, and the 107th floor of the building is a sightseeing floor, so you can see 70 kilometers away on a clear day.
The fire burned after the impact
Unfortunately, at around 9 a.m. on 11 September 2001, two passenger planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the South Tower and the North Tower, respectively, and it took about an hour and a half from the impact to the complete collapse.
It took 7 years to build these two twin towers, and it took less than 2 hours to collapse, and since then, these two classic buildings that span the centuries have only existed in people's memories!
In just over an hour, it was in ruins
Dust enveloped Manhattan
