The original
World Trade Center was a large complex of seven buildings in
Lower Manhattan,
New York City, United States. It featured landmark twin towers, which opened on April 4, 1973, and were destroyed in the
September 11, 2001 attacks, with
7 World Trade Center collapsing later that day due to the damage it suffered when the twin towers collapsed that morning. The other buildings in the complex were severely damaged by the collapse of the twin towers, and their ruins were eventually demolished.
