No one had any idea that one day those giant Twin Towers would become the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. A place with a lot of history and feelings to share with everyone who passes by.
Address of the Twin Towers
In the vicinity of the street, walking you will reach the complex World Trade Center.
World Trade Center -NY
The gigantic complex of seven buildings among them, the Twin Towers, one with 417 meters high and the other with 415 meters, considered the tallest in the world (at that time).
One was called World Trade Center 1 (North Tower) and the other World Trade Center 2 (South Tower).
In this place where many lives were lost, the United States demonstrates through symbolism how much they feel pride and gratitude for everyone who stayed there.
At its tops in one there was a telecommunication tower that beamed signal to several stations and in the other tower there was an observation post nicknamed Top of the World.
September 11th attack
An unforgettable day at world level, I'm sure you'll remember what you were doing at the exact moment the first collision with one of the towers was reported.
Terrorists hijacked a plane: American Airlines Flight 11 and crashing the plane into the building on its north side, 17 minutes later another plane crashing into the other tower, United Airlines Flight 175.
The number of officially reported and published objects was 2,752.
9/11 Memorial and Museum
Swimming pools with waterfalls were built in place of the towers and all around them the names of all the people who were there on the day of the attack.
In addition to museum, which is further ahead and tells everything that happened that day.
I confess it is a “heavy” place because it has so many stories and so many lives told.
As an example, the vehicle of the firefighters who were trying to save people that day. The rest of the communication tower. Photos, panels, in a closed room with videos and the sounds of firefighters sirens (exciting).
World Trade Center movies
Tip: watch the movies that tell details of the 11th of September, there is a lot of history, it is interesting to know the place and know what really happened there, on that 11th of September.
