The World Trade Center Towers were New York City’s tallest skyscrapers, but they were destroyed on September 11, 2001, when two airplanes flew into them. Tragically, too many people lost loved ones, and too many people were injured. This was a sad day for the citizens of New York City, as well as for everyone in the United States of America, and the tragedy touched people from countries all over the world. new_york_new_york
