 Front Jacket Excerpt: 
 "On September 11, 2001 in front of the incredulous eyes of the world, the 
 Twin Towers of New York collapsed burying thousands of innocent people 
 below the rubble as well as the sense of civilized life in a great city. 
 That day, the unimaginable became reality. The World Trade Center, designed 
 and built as a dream, seemed an engineering risk but soon became the heart 
 of a business, commercial and financial center without comparison. With a 
 height of roughly 1,360 feet, the Twin Towers were the most visible symbol 
 of the World Trade Center; they skimmed the sky like modern Gothic 
 cathedrals, the shining image of New York's pride and creative energy. 
 This volume commemorates the extraordinary work of engineering, not just 
 with spectacular photographs that made it an unmistakable icon of power 
 and wealth, but also through the illustrated history of its short but 
 radiant 
 existence, and with an entire chapter dedicated to an account of its tragic 
 epilogue. 
 World Trade Center is also an emotional and regretful tribute to one of the 
 most famous modern monuments in the world that was a symbol of peace 
 and progress for twenty-five years." 
 The 2002 World Trade Center" hardcover, edition book is in excellent 
 condition.
