Remembering The Twins

For nearly three decades the original World Trade Center and it's Twin Towers dominated the Lower Manhattan Skyline until their destruction during the events of September 11, 2001. The icons were featured in several movies, TV shows and postcards and became notorious symbols that represented New York City. The complex housed over 400 companies that were engaged in various commercial activities. On a typical weekday, an estimated 50,000 people worked in the complex and another 140,000 passed through as visitors. The towers offered expansive views from the observation deck atop the South Tower and the prestigious Windows on The World restaurant which were housed at the 106th and 107th floors of the North Tower. The Mall at the World Trade Center located at the underground concourse level housed several stores including eateries and access to the MTA Subway and Path Transit trains.

I hesitated to view this journal entry, because even from this distance in the UK the terrible events leading to the destruction of these towers felt traumatising. I can't imagine how locals must have felt.
Your tribute is beautifully done and I am glad I did venture in here to take a look.
