20th Anniversary of the 1993 WTC Bombing

February 26 marks the 20th anniversary of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center by Islamic terrorists. The terrorists set off a powerful bomb in the basement and intended to knock one tower over into another but thankfully that failed. However, the bomb killed 6 people, and injured over a thousand, and caused a lot of damage. Unfortunately, the 1993 attack was surpassed in 2001 by the more coordinated attack against the towers. I loved the Twin Towers and am still angry about what happened. The names of the 1993 victims are engraved alongside the 9/11 victims at the Memorial. Never forget the victims of terrorism! And never forget the Twin Towers!

This event really showed the WTC's strength. The plan was to topple one tower so it would fall on the other (domino effect) BUT they never fell! The buildings opened up soon after with a major security haul.

One of the office workers in an interview once wondered if they would attack it again, to finish the job. Guess he was right. Imagine what the owners must have felt like?
