The WTC became a symbol of American capitalism and economic dominance, and therefore a vulnerable target for [[Islamic terrorism|Islamic terrorists]].  In 1993, Islamic terrorists detonated a massive truck bomb in an underground parking lot with the goal of knocking the towers over and killing its capacity of 25,000 workers.  This attempt failed, killing only 6, but caused smoke and evacuation of the building. The attack severely damaged the Vista Hotel, which had to be renovated. Inside the building, people smashed windows for fresh air. The smoke left the entrance of the hotel. About 1 thousand were injured inside the building, either from smoke inhalation, or injury from the blast.
