[[Image:WorldTradeCenter.jpg|right|thumb|World Trade Center, destroyed on [[9/11]].]]
 
The '''World Trade Center''' included two 110-story towers at the southern tip of Manhattan. Constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by the government of [[New York City]], at the insistence of [[Nelson Rockefeller|Nelson]] and [[David Rockefeller]].  They were unique in their government ownership for the purpose of leasing to private companies engaging in world trade.  Yet few of the tenants were actually trade organizations, and instead the offices were filled mostly with investment banks and large law firms.
