The iconic twin towers of downtown Manhattan's World Trade Center were completed in 1973. They stood at 110 stories each, accommodating 50, 000 workers and 200, 000 daily visitors in 10 million square feet of space. They were the hub of the bustling Financial District, a top tourist attraction and a symbol of New York City's-and America's-steadfast devotion to progress and the future
