These attacks killed 2,996 people, injured more than six thousand, and caused at least $10 billion in damage to infrastructure and property damage.
In the months and years after the attack, there were people who died of respiratory and cancer - related diseases.
Within an hour of 42 minutes, both 110-story twin towers fell to the ground causing extraordinary dust.
The destruction of the World Trade Centre and the nearby infrastructure seriously damaged the lower Manhattan economy and had a significant effect on global markets, which resulted in the closure of Wall Street by 17 September and civilian airspace in the US and Canada by 13 September.
Many closures, evacuations, and cancellations followed because of fears of further attacks.
Cleaning of “World Trade Center” was completed in May 2002, while the new building was inaugurated in November 2014.
