In Memoriam: World Trade Center Pictures To Admire Its Beauty
May We Always Remember The Twin Towers, And The People Who Made Them Alive 24/7
The Twin Towers were built more than 46 years ago although it didn’t open until 1973, three years later after its construction. It became a monument that symbolizes New York, rising dramatically above all other skyscrapers at the tip of Manhattan.
Let’s take a trip back to the former World Trade Center and remember its glory which stood at around 1,360 feet apiece before tragedy struck 15 years ago.
