The World Trade Center

The magnificent buildings that graced the skyline were built in New York City. They were both finished in different years; at first, there were just going to be one building, but in 1962, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey started to work with Yamasaki, who insisted that instead of one tower, tow would be more attractive, and the project was approved in 1966. The construction of the north tower had stared before and was finished in December 1970, mean while the south tower had began construction afterward and finished in January 1972.  The Twin Tower began to turn heads to there direction, they quickly became New York’s symbol. In 1973 they dedicated the towers to New York.

Sadly, the twin towers are no more standing, because of the attack on September 11, where terrorist intentionally crashed two planes into the twin towers, which collapse in tow hours, 3,000 people were killed in the attack. This brought damage to the economy and five streets were closed for the cleanup witch finished in May 2002. while the cleanup was in process, were the tow tower used to stand, were construct light and a waterfall of remembrance of the tow and the deaths of the ones in the attack. In the tenth years anniversary for the fist time the light were on, until the next day.

In 2002, a contest was held for the reconstruction of the tower. After 5,000 entries past by, finally, The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation announced in Jan. 2004 that architects Michael Arad and Peter Walker had won a competition to design the memorial to the people who died at the World Trade Center.the construction is taught to be finished in 2015.
