World Trade Center

The World Trade Center was built to draw attention to New York City and to stand as a symbol of that city's place in the global community. It became one of the most recognized structures in the world--a symbol not only of New York, but also of American culture and prestige. Tragically, the World Trade Center's success as a symbol contributed to its downfall when terrorists targeted it for destruction on September 11, 2001.Levy, Debbie is the author of 'World Trade Center', published 2005 under ISBN 9780737720716 and ISBN 0737720719.
