These 110-story towers were built in lower Manhattan from 1966 to 1973 and quickly became a distinctive feature of the New York City skyline and a symbol of the city’s financial power.
Tower One, the north tower, stood 417 m (1,368 ft) tall; Tower Two, the south tower, 415 m (1,362 ft).
The towers briefly ranked as the world’s tallest buildings, but they were surpassed in 1974 by the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, which has a height of 442 m (1,450 ft).

As was the case with the south tower, the upper portion of the north tower, above the point of impact, began to tilt as a solid block toward the point of the initial structural damage.
The occupants of the south tower had both advance warning and the benefit of utilizing the building's ninety-nine elevators, which is obviously a much quicker way to exit than walking, single file, down as many as 110 flights of stairs.
So even though the south tower was hit at a lower elevation, thus potentially trapping far more people, and even though it stood for only half as long, more than twice as many people died in the north tower.
