The Twin Towers were a pair of iconic skyscrapers located in New York City. Completed in 1973, they were part of the World Trade Center complex and stood at 110 stories tall. The towers were known for their distinctive design and were among the tallest buildings in the world at the time. On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were tragically destroyed in a terrorist attack involving hijacked airplanes. This event led to significant changes in global security policies and had a profound impact on the city and the world. Today, the One World Trade Center stands on the site as a symbol of resilience.
