World Trade Center

The World Trade Center (WTC) refers to a complex of buildings in Lower Manhattan, New York City, originally famous for its twin towers completed in 1973. These towers were iconic skyscrapers and served as a hub for international business and finance. The WTC was tragically attacked on September 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into the towers, leading to their collapse and significant loss of life. The site has since been rebuilt, with the One World Trade Center—a symbol of resilience—standing in its place, along with a memorial honoring the victims of the attacks.
