World Trade Center reopens in New York after 13-years


The World Trade Center in New York had been destroyed 13-years-back on 9th of September 2001 in a terrorist attack when an aircraft crashed into the building reducing it to a mass of rubble in which thousands of people working in the center perished.
A new tower has now come up in its place - the new silvery, 1,776-foot skyscraper rose from the ashes of 9/11 and became to be regarded as a symbol of American resilience. The new tower opened for business with 175 employees of the magazine publishing giant Conde Nast who settled down to their first day of work in their new offices.
Conde Nast are the publisher of Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair and it is expected that they would move in about 3,000 more employees by early next year to eventually occupy 25 floors of the $3.9 billion, 104-story tower. This is, incidentally, the nation's tallest building.
In the words of Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns both the building and the 16-acre World Trade Center site, the New York City skyline is whole again.
