The World Trade Center in New York City was officially dedicated on 04 April 1973. The World Trade Center complex consisted of seven buildings, including the iconic Twin Towers: One World Trade Center (North Tower) and Two World Trade Center (South Tower). Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, the Twin Towers stood as symbols of economic power and architectural innovation.
The dedication ceremony marked the completion of the construction of the Twin Towers and the official opening of the entire World Trade Center complex. The towers quickly became prominent landmarks in the New York City skyline and served as bustling hubs of commerce, hosting numerous businesses, offices, and public spaces.
Tragically, the World Trade Center would later become the target of a terrorist attack on 11 September 2001, when hijacked airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers, causing their collapse and resulting in the loss of thousands of lives. The attacks on 11 September 2001, changed the course of history and left an indelible mark on the world.
