Ground Zero: still a remarkable spot
For many years, the ever-present Twin Towers, once the tallest buildings in the world, had been stunning New York landmarks. Where the towers once stood there is now an impressive tribute to the victims of 9/11. The city is currently building new skyscrapers that will fill the hole in the New York skyline.
The pride of New York, the Twin Towers, were part of 7 buildings that comprised the World Trade Center. The towers were 110 stories high and housed the offices of hundreds of companies. On 11 September 2001, this all came to a tragic end when two hijacked airplanes crashed into the buildings.
