I have a vague memory of going inside sometime in the mid 90s, but otherwise no. I guess I didn't really think about them much at the time, like I was shopping at the Century 21 right across from the Twin Towers a few days before the attack but I don't recall even looking at the towers.

In retrospect, I wish I would have gone in more often.

nah, I never understood the fascination people have with standing in line to ride an elevator to look at some shit from a distance that they can walk to and see up close.

They were never rebuilt. They built the One World Trade Center instead, and are building some other new WTC buildings around it, but there will never be another Twin Towers design involved.

Were the twin towers famous outside of east coast America?

Cause I was 12 on 9/11 and I had zero idea what they were. I knew about the Empire State building and that's it

I went there back in 2000 and was given a choice between the Empire State Building or the World Trade Center and I picked the former

If I had known about 9/11 beforehand I would have gone to the WTC >_>

Because they don't want to see it up close. They want to see everything in the area at the same time.

If you had known about it beforehand, I hope you'd do more than just pay a visit before it got destroyed. >_>

I like what they did with the memorial, turning the foundations of the two towers into big fountains with the names on a plaque that surrounds it.

I did go inside the World Trade Center in the summer (either July or August) of 2001. I did an essay a while back on my vacation to Connecticut and New York. Here's a rundown of my thoughts and events during that time:

-I remember the buildings themselves being very tall I can remember trying to pull my head back to look at the very top. Inside, I remember international flags circling all around in an opening on a lower floor in the center.

-We waited through a long line to get through tight security and then we were allowed to go through an elevator for tourists. I can remember the tour lady being so beautiful and kind as we were going up. The tour lady had talked about the number of floors, how the buildings sway inches back and forth with the wind, and how the integrity of the enormous buildings withstood the 1993 garage bombing.

-Finally, we arrived at the “Top of the World.” There were murals in the hallway as well as restaurants.
There was also a 3-D model of Manhattan. I even remember going in a simulated, bumpy helicopter ride around the city in a small theatre room. I can remember looking down in the windows of the observation deck and seeing how all the people and cars looked small. Even the other buildings and the city itself seemed "short".

-Then we went up the long escalators to the top. Up at the top you couldn’t see much since it was hazy and there was a protective barrier that prevents people from jumping off and committing suicide, but I could see the other tower with the antenna on it.

A few of my fondest memories about NYC was hearing the music that would play in the subways as well as taking my picture with a policeman who was on a horse. It's sort of scary to think about who were some of the people I saw there actually had died on 9/11. I can't possibly imagine how horrifying it must have been to have been trapped up there.

Yeah and unfortunately that was pretty much the direct hit area of the 1st plane. Windows on the World and the upper-floor tourist trap to use the rooftop binoculars

Nope. Went to NYC a few times before '01 but for whatever reason the ESB was a more popular visit so we never went to the WTC.
