The 110-storey landmarks that dominated the Manhattan skyline for
nearly 30 years were reduced to rubble in the 9/11 suicide attacks of 2001
Thousands of people in the World Trade Center
and on the planes that crashed
into them, lost their lives
Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, the giant towers were conceived as
part of an urban renewal project for Lower Manhattan - and when completed in the
early 1970s, for a short time at least, were the world's tallest buildings
Now - a decade since they were lost, and with new construction on the site
well-advanced -
