Twin Towers

I was born right after they were destroyed. In 2019, I went to the memorial site where they originally stood. I never knew that they were that large in space (or 110 stories tall), and now I understand why the rescue effort was so difficult. They didn't tell us anything about September 11 until I was in 11th grade; that was way too late. In all the images I see of the towers, I really like how they look above the rest of New York. People joke about how simple they are compared to the Empire State or Chrysler building, but I think that that's an appealing aspect. They were so simple in the sky, contrasting with the busyness down below.
