World-Trade-Center-omogist
Thirteen years after an Osama bin Laden-masterminded attack leveled it, the World Trade Center is back in business. The new One World Trade Center is a 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper, and is America’s tallest building.
 
It’s the centerpiece of the 16-acre site where the decimated twin towers once stood and where more than 2,700 people died on Sept. 11, 2001.
“The New York City skyline is whole again, as One World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan,” said Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that owns both the building and the World Trade Center site.
He said One World Trade Center “sets new standards of design, construction, prestige and sustainability; the opening of this iconic building is a major milestone in the transformation of Lower Manhattan into a thriving 24/7 neighborhood.”
