 | | The World Trade Center in New York City was a complex of seven buildings around a central plaza, near the south end of Manhattan in the downtown financial district. |
 | | Best known for its iconic 110-story Twin Towers, after having survived a bombing on February 26, 1993, all of the original buildings in the complex were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks; three collapsed (1, 2, 7) and the others (3, 4, 5, 6) were damaged beyond repair. |
 | | On February 26, 1993, just after 12 PM, a Ryder truck filled with explosives was planted by terrorists and exploded in the underground garage of the north tower, opening a 30m hole through 4 sublevels of concrete. |
