List Of Tenants In One World Trade Center
The North Tower (also known as Tower 1, Building One or 1 WTC) was one of the twin towers of the original World Trade Center in New York City. It was completed in 1972, standing at a height of 417 metres (1,368 ft), and was the tallest building in the world until being surpassed by Chicago's Sears Tower in 1973. It was distinguishable from its twin, the South Tower, by the 110-metre (360 ft) telecommunications antenna on its roof. Including the antenna, the building stood at a total height of 527 metres (1,729 ft). The building's address was 1 World Trade Center, with the WTC complex having its own ZIP code of 10048.
The North Tower and its twin were both destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; the North Tower was the first tower to be struck, at 8:46 a.m EDT, and the second tower to collapse, at 10:28 a.m. Of the approximately 3,000 people killed in the attacks, over 1,300 were in or above the North Tower impact zone. The North Tower was replaced by the present One World Trade Center tower, which will open in 2013 as the lead building of the redeveloped World Trade Center site.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, world, trade and/or center:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“We are heading towards catastrophe. I think the world is going to pieces. I am very pessimistic. Why? Because the world hasn’t been punished yet, and the only punishment that could be adequate is the nuclear destruction of the world.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
