  World Trade Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Trade Center in New York City was a complex of seven buildings designed by American architect Minoru Yamasaki and leased by Larry Silverstein from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey around a central plaza, near the south end of Manhattan in the downtown financial district.
That same source claims that when the World Trade Center was destroyed, the amount of gold "far exceed[ed] the 1993 levels." The gold was finally recovered in its entirety in late 2001.
The World Trade Center is slated to be rebuilt as a new mixed-use complex of buildings called Memory Foundations, including the 1776 ft (541 m) Freedom Tower.

 World Trade Organization - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international organization which oversees a large number of agreements covering the "rules of trade" between its member states.
It was created in 1995 as a secretariat to administer the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, a post-war trade treaty which laid much of the groundwork for the WTO.
The WTO is the long-delayed successor to the project of the International Trade Organization, which was intended to follow GATT and whose charter was agreed at the UN Conference on Trade and Employment in Havana in March 1948, but which was blocked by the US Senate.

 Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? Science, Engineering, and Speculation
The collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers on September 11, 2001, was as sudden as it was dramatic; the complete destruction of such massive buildings shocked nearly everyone.
The WTC was primarily a lightweight steel structure; however, its 244 perimeter columns made it “one of the most redundant and one of the most resilient” skyscrapers.
While the aircraft impact undoubtedly destroyed several columns in the WTC perimeter wall, the number of columns lost on the initial impact was not large and the loads were shifted to remaining columns in this highly redundant structure.
