The term '''Ground Zero''' describes the site of the [[Twin Towers]] of the [[World Trade Center]] in [[New York City]], destroyed in the terrorist outrage of September 11 2001. However, it was coined much earlier, to describe the center of impact of the first atomic bomb at [[Hiroshima]] in 1945, and was also often used for disasters with a geographical [[epicenter]], such as [[earthquake]]s.
