Описание: How did they do it? Find out in this 18 minute film, Building the World Trade Center, produced by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1983 with original footage of the towers under construction.

FACTS:
The World Trade Center was dedicated 50 years ago on April 4, 1973 in New York. At the time of their completion, the Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world, with the North Tower rising 1,368 feet and the South Tower measuring 1,362 feet. They were also the largest, covering 9 million square feet of space, with each floor measuring almost an acre. In 1973, the World Trade Center was home to 50,000 workers and 80,000 visitors a day. The complex was so large that it had its own power plant and its very own zip code.

Identified with progress and prosperity by some and lamented as an eye sore by others, the Twin Towers, nonetheless, became one of the most recognizable features of the New York skyline. Today the World Trade Center conjures memories of the September 11th terrorist attacks which obliterated the Twin Towers and claimed nearly 3,000 lives.
