World Trade Center

The World Trade Center was a multi-building complex located in New York City on Earth. The World Trade Center was originally built in the 20th century. It consisted of two tall towers (often referred to as the "Twin Towers"), which were the tallest buildings in New York City, and were amongst the tallest buildings on Earth at the time of their construction. There were also several other smaller buildings on the complex.

On September 11, 2001, the two main buildings were destroyed when two hijacked airliners rammed both towers in a highly coordinated terrorist attack. An image of this horrific event was visible in the panorama of images presented to Jonathan Archer when Daniels informed him that time had been set back on course. (ENT episode Storm Front, Part II). Over 3,000 lives were lost in the attack, including many of the emergency and law enforcement personnel who initially responded when the first tower was attacked. One of the rescue workers who responded had a firefighter's which would eventually become a cherished family heirloom. This axe was passed down through the generations, and eventually was passed to Domenica Corsi in the 2370s. (SCE eBook Wildfire).

By the 23rd century, the twin towers had been rebuilt, but had been painted gold. (EV comic The Fallen).
