		I was in the Observatory in the World Trade Center in New York twice.

		In July, Larry Silverstein, whose real estate company was given the lease to the WTC two months before the September 11 attacks, convinced Libeskind to hire David Childs of Skidmore Owings and Merrill as a co-architect of the proposed 1,776-foot tower, which Governor Pataki calls the 'Freedom Tower'.
		A draft design for the tower released December 19, 2003 has already encountered stiff criticism and as of January 2005 it was still unclear that building the spire according to the Libeskind design was even possible [1].In May 2005 a thorough redesign of the tower was ordered after safety concerns raised by the police department.

		The fuming World Trade Center debris pile was a chemical factory that exhaled pollutants in particularly dangerous forms that could penetrate deep into the lungs of workers at Ground Zero, says a new study by UC Davis air-quality experts.
		The new study also confirms, Cahill said, that the very fine particles observed were almost totally from the trade center debris pile and not from other upwind sources, such as power plants and the diesel trucks used to haul away the debris.
		When the trade center towers burned and collapsed, tons of concrete, glass, furniture, carpets, insulation, computers and paper were reduced to enormous, oxygen-poor debris piles that slowly burned until Dec. 19, 2001.

		It was a popular destination for both tourists and locals: atop 2 World Center was the enclosed Top of the World observation deck offering panoramic views on all sides; and at the top of 1 World Trade Center was Windows on the World, one of the city's most popular restaurants.

		Regardless of whether it was "too early" in 2006 to dramatize the events of September 11th, 2001, World Trade Center succeeds as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who served at "ground zero" in the wake of terrorist attacks on the WTC's twin towers in New York City.
		What "World Trade Center" does remind us of, is how people from across the nation and around the globe came together; how hundreds risked their lives to save only a few, and why peace is not something Americans can take for granted.

		The structural integrity of the World Trade Center depends on the closely spaced columns around the perimeter.

	World Trade Center (2006): Reviews
		World Trade Center celebrates the ties that bind us, the bonds that keep us going, the goodness that stands as a rebuke to the horror of that day.
		Without being too glib about it, World Trade Center is a most improbable thing: an upbeat film about September 11, one of the few stories to emerge from that day to come with a happy ending.
		World Trade Center is fatally benign -- an unexceptionable and therefore unexceptional heroic narrative that does little to further the tentative creep of our pop culture toward parsing the significance of that catastrophic day.

		As a visually stunning tribute to lives lost in tragedy, World Trade Center succeeds unequivocally, and it is more politically muted than many of Stone's other works.
		World Trade Center eventually stops feeling like a remarkable story of survival and more like a Hallmark Network presentation.
		[World Trade Center] doesn’t pretend to encompass the entire catastrophe of 9/11, and that is its great negative virtue.

	World Trade Center History
		The World Trade Center was conceived in the early 1960s by the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Development Association to revitalize the seedy radio row dominated by electronic stores.
		However, the towers were ranked as the fifth and sixth tallest buildings in the world at the time of their destruction on Sept.
		The design included a hanging garden, a memorial, a cultural center, and Freedom Tower, which would be a symbolic 1,776 feet tall from the ground to the top of its spire.

	Hollywood Gothique: World Trade Center (2006) Review
		This is not a film about the World Trade Center; it's a film about two guys trapped in the rubble.
		In WORLD TRADE CENTER, on the other hand, the fate of oer 2,700 people who died is reduced to brief subtitle before the closing credits as the movie tries to foist on us a feel-good ending about the two survivors.
		WOLRD TRADE CENTER should have been a multi-character story, emphasizing the historical context, and it should have provided some kind of catharsis in its attempt to come to terms with the enormity of the event.
