The Twin Towers were originally the tallest buildings in the world, and the observation deck of Twin Towers received over 80,000 visitors each day. Standing at a height of about 1,368 ft. for Tower 1 (excluding the antennae) and 1,362 ft. for Tower 2, they allowed visitors on their observation deck to see far across the horizon.
The World Trade Center has always been featured in films. For example, the second King Kong film featured the World Trade Center in one of its scenes. In recent times, there have been many instances where the World Trade Center was digitally inserted into scenes, such as in Angels in America.
Here, the 9/11 memorial serves as a monument to commemorate the lives loss during the 911 attacks. The plans to rebuild the World Trade Center have already been finalized – 5 buildings, with the current 9/11 memorial, will be constructed in the place of the old World Trade Center. The project is expected to be completed by 2014.
