The twin towers were the tallest buildings in New York City and two of the tallest in the world. On that fateful day of September11th, 2001, hijacked jetliners rammed into the towers, toppling them and destroying the complex's other five buildings. About 2,900 people lost their lives.

We will never forget these people and our Twin Towers.

World Trade Center Sphere:

Bowling Green. This sculpture stood in the plaza of the World Trade Center for three decades as a symbol of world peace. It was damaged during the tragic events of September 11, 2001 but endures as an icon of hope and serves as a memorial to the lives lost that day. The eternal flame was ignited on September 11, 2002.
