It was a very prominent symbol of the American landscape and symbol of New York City, which served as a beacon of hope for the millions of immigrants that were welcomed by its bay over the years. It also served a functional purpose as it provided millions of square feet of office space and served as a hub for economic activity.

A plane crash in Tenerife, Canary Islands, killed 583 people in 1977. However, including total casualties and the extent of destruction, the worst plane crashes were the two planes which hit the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001. Two planes, from American and United Airlines were involved, the World Trade Center was destroyed along with the planes, and approximately 2,907 people lost their lives.
It was destroyed by aircraft which went into the buildings on 11 September 2001 in terrorist attacks. See the related link. It was destroyed by terrorist hijackers.
Turrurrists
The World Trade Center was destroyed by jets crashing into it, absolutely not by controlled demolition.
The planes were hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorrists and deliberately flown into the towers.
Its wasn't a form of government, it was a terriost group whose leader Osama Bin Laden hired a couple of terriosts to hijack 3 planes and crash them into the world trade center (a.k.a. twin towers)
The three buildings that were hit during the September 11 terrorist attacks wereThe North Tower of the World Trade Center, New YorkThe South Tower of the World Trade Center, New YorkThe Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia
Well, there were two planes. Three guys hijacked the planes and they had bombs. And then they rammed the plane into the world trade center. And the other plane tried to damage the White House but it crashed in Pennsylvania.
