Groundbreaking began in 1966, and the Towers were completed in the early 1970s. Different sources give conflicting dates. Some say the North Tower was completed in 1970 and the South Tower in 1971, while others say that the North Tower was completed in 1972, and the South Tower in 1973.

Even Wikipedia can't seem to decide on the date. The Wikipedia entry for the World Trade Center contradicts itself! At the top of the page, it says the North Tower was completed in 1972, and the South in 1973, while further down the page, it claims the North Tower was completed in 1970, and the South in 1971.
