Ground Zero

Ground Zero refers to the site of a significant event, most commonly associated with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States. In this context, it is the location of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, where the Twin Towers were destroyed. The term has also been used more generally to indicate the central point of any major disaster or explosion. Today, Ground Zero symbolizes both the tragedy of the attacks and the resilience of those affected, with memorials and redevelopment efforts honoring the lives lost and the impact of the events.
