What The Twin Towers Meant To America

The Twin Towers were only part of the World Trade Center, consisting of 7 buildings total. Yet due to their incredible size, they became one of the most influential and culturally significant buildings in US history. This video goes over the Twin Towers' role in the World Trade Centers, it's development history, and how these factors worked together to give America a whole new meaning. What comes to your mind when you think of America? The answer to this question will vary from generation to generation. For the Silent Generation, it was probably hot apple pie and rock and roll. For the baby boomers, it was experimentation and nonconformity. And for the adventurous and ambitiously growing yuppies of the early 1980s, it was the iconic New York towers. Known officially as the World Trade Centers, the Twin Towers were part of seven buildings within a complex located in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. If you hadn’t already known, it may come as a surprise to you that these towers were only part of the World Trade Centers, as five other buildings were also working along with them, one of these a hotel. But due to their colossal size and being the original buildings, this term “World Trade Centers” was used interchangeably to describe these two mammoth structures, a clear indicator that their size alone was a huge component in making them so culturally significant. Built in 1973, they were the largest buildings in the world, and subsequently for the next two decades became a symbol for opportunity, a manifestation of the American Dream. Overseeing nearly all of New York city, The Twin Towers became something you almost could not escape from. They followed you everywhere, a rather optimistic metaphor for how prosperity in the United States was just inevitable. But why did the Twin Towers even exist in the first place? How did the World Trade Centers help shape America, and what was the magnitude of their presence? This video will focus on not what the Twin Towers became, but instead will focus on what they were. For a lot of the younger people watching, they might not even know what the World Trade Centers did, and that’s okay. With the passage of time comes the depreciation of knowledge for things that are now unfortunately only a part of the past, and the only way to keep their legacy living is to preserve their memory through artifact, historical record, and education. So, what did the World Trade Centers do? What where they used for? Well, they were the centers for trading across the entire world. Duh. Yes, that’s essentially what the Twin Towers were. They were office buildings. But what does that entail? I mean, that answer’s kind of boring, and apathetically leaves out a lot of important information. To really understand the magnitude of the World Trade Center’s cultural impact requires diving into its development history.
