The World Trade Center was built from 1969 to 1973 at a cost of ＄750 million. The
two 110-story towers had been the tallest buildings until the Sears Tower in Chicago was
completed in 1974 at 1450.
The World Trade Center was hit by two planes and it fell in a short time later on
September 11 th, 2001.
America and United airlines both said two of their planes had been hijacked(劫持)and
crashed.
America said its planes were carrying a total of 156 people. One was a Boston-Los
Angeles. An FBI man said the former, a Boeing 767, hit one of the Trade Center towers;
the later, a Boeing 757, hit the pentagon(五角大楼).
Two United airliners with a total of 110 aboard also crashed -a Boeing 757 outside
Pittsburgh, the other, a Boeing 767, into the Trade Center.
The crash in Pennsylvania was a New York-San Francisco fight. It rushed into the
ground in a field about 85 miles from Pittsburgh. US officials said it was possible the
plane had been on a course for the presidential house at Camp David.
The police received a phone call at 9:58 am. It came from a man who said he was a
passenger locked in the bathroom of United Flight 93.
' We are being hijacked. We are being hijacked! It is going down quickly. I can see
some white smoke coming from the front and hear some terrible noise. What's happening?
My God!'
