WTC - World Trade Centre. We all remember such tragedy which was at the 11th of September, 2001 year. WTC at New-York was attacked by terrorists. They took two Boieng planes and flow into skyscrapers. Sourth and North towers very destroied. More then 10 thousand people died there, Russian were there too. It was at the morning,8:46 AM, Boieng 767 was crashed at one of the towers. People in the another tower doesn't know what happened, they understood only when first tower was collapsed!!! It was scared!There were a lot of dust and very dirty. Soon at 9:03 another building was attacked. South tower collapsed at 9:59 AM amd North at 10:28 AM.
Skyscrapers were built at 1966 and destroyed at 2001. They were 41 yeras buildings. It very sad to live without them. My dream was to infine WTC and to be at the tallest place of the world....but....terrorists...
The Twin Towers
Ultimately the complex came to consist of seven buildings, but its most notable features were the main twin towers. Each of the WTC towers had 110 stories. 1 WTC (the North Tower, which featured a massive 360-foot high TV antenna added in 1978) stood 1,368 feet (417 m) high, and 2 WTC (the South Tower, which contained the observation deck) was 1,362 feet (415 m) high.[19] The length and breadth of the towers were 208 feet (63.4 m) x 208 feet (63.4 m). Although only Tower 1 featured an antenna, the structure of each building was designed to carry a broadcast mast, and in the basement of the complex, The Mall at the World Trade Center was Manhattan's largest mall until 9-11.
When completed in 1972, 1 WTC became the tallest building on Earth, unseating the Empire State Building after a 40 year reign. 2 WTC became the second tallest building in the world when completed in 1973. The difference in height between the two towers was because of a Port Authority request to have two floors, the 43rd and the 67th, in 1 WTC raised, the lower of the taller floors being a cafeteria for PANY workers. 2 WTC did not need these facilities, so it remained 1,362 feet. Regardless, the WTC towers held the height record only briefly. As the building neared completion in 1973, work had already begun on Chicago's Sears Tower, which ultimately reached 1,450 feet (442 m). With the World Trade Center's destruction, the Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York, after spending almost 30 years as the third-tallest in the city.
