| The Twin Towers of New York City's World Trade Center collapsed after being deliberately struck by two commercial passenger jets during the September 11 attacks. A total of four commercial aircraft were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists on 9/11 and two of those were crashed into the Twin Towers. American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the north side of the North Tower (One World Trade Center) and United Airlines Flight 175 was crashed into the south side of the South Tower (Two World Trade Center). The collapse of the Twin Towers destroyed the rest of the complex, and debris from the collapsing towers severely damaged or destroyed more than a dozen other adjacent and nearby structures. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 am, less than an hour after being hit followed by the North Tower at 10:28 am. Later that day, the nearby Seven World Trade Center collapsed at 5:21 pm from fires that had started when the North Tower collapsed. As a result of the attacks to the towers, a total of 2,763 people died including 2,192 civilians, 343 firefighters, and 71 law enforcement officers as well as all the passengers and crew on the airplanes, including 147 civilians and the 10 hijackers.Immediately following the attacks, a building performance study team of engineering specialists was formed by the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The building performance study team issued its report in May 2002, finding that the aircraft impacts caused, "extensive structural damage, including localized collapse" and that the resulting fires, "further weakened the steel-framed structures, eventually leading to total collapse".In September 2005, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which also consulted outside engineering entities, produced a more detailed engineering investigation into the collapse. The investigators did not find anything substandard in the design of the twin towers, noting that the severity of the attacks and the magnitude of the destruction was beyond anything experienced in buildings in the past. They also emphasized the role of the fires and found that sagging floors pulled inward on the perimeter columns that "led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers."The cleanup of the World Trade Center site involved round-the-clock operations, many contractors and subcontractors, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The demolition of the surrounding damaged buildings continued even as new construction proceeded on the Twin Towers' replacement, One World Trade Center, which was opened in November 2014. As of January 2018, five new buildings had been erected on the site; the last one, Two World Trade Center, is scheduled for completion in 2022. |
