| How Many Buildings Were Destroyed On 9 11 In New York |
The Twin Towers Took a Tumble (Duh!)
Okay, this one's a no-brainer. The Twin Towers, the majestic giants of the New York skyline, were the main targets and went down in a horrific display of destruction.
But wait, there's more!
Don't Forget the Five World Trade Center Buddies!
While the Twin Towers were the stars of the sorrowful sky-fall, they weren't the only ones to take a dirt nap. The entire World Trade Center (WTC) complex, which included seven buildings in total, got demolished by the domino effect of the falling giants. So, that's five more buildings that got KO'd.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
So, the damage report in NYC looks like: 7 buildings total.
But hey, at least they got a front-row seat to the most dramatic building collapse ever (except maybe that time I accidentally knocked over my Lego Death Star... still salty about that).
Hold on, Were There Any Other Casualties?
You might be wondering about other buildings outside the WTC complex. Thankfully, while there was significant damage to surrounding structures, a complete collapse was avoided.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Phew, that's a relief! We wouldn't want the whole city to turn into a dust bowl.
