'''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]], 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.

A memorial in honor of the brave lives lost that day is currently being constructed at Ground Zero and was originally expected to be finished in time for September 11th, 2011 (the ten-year anniversary of the attacks). However, completion has since been pushed back to an undetermined date. Conversely, as an insult to those who died, there is work on building a [[Ground Zero Mosque]].
