Four years, that’s how long it took to build the Twin Towers in New York City. Ground was broken Aug 5, 1966, but workers couldn’t even start putting up the steel until 68.
On December 23, 1970, workers placed the highest piece of steel on the North Tower, bringing it to a walloping 1,368 feet. At the time New Yorkers thought the buildings were an eyesore, but they came to love the massive buildings that offered an unobstructed view of 45 miles in all directions.
Even though they were brought down on 9/11, they live on in the hearts and minds of New Yorkers and Americans everywhere…..as do all the lives that were lost.
