Construction Of The World Trade Center Twin Towers

  • The World Trade Center North Tower’s construction started in August of 1968 and was completed in 1972. 
  • The World Trade Center South Tower’s construction started in January of 1969 and was completed in 1973.

A History Channel documentary on Modern Marvels about the World Trade Center twin towers, dated in 2001 but before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, failed to mention the 60 fatalities that occurred during the twin towers’ deadly construction.  An event in history 20 times as deadly as the Apollo space program.
