Part 2/9:
Videos and images from the aftermath of the Twin Towers collapse reveal a stark transformation in the New York skyline. The Marriott Hotel, once a prominent fixture, was left with visible wounds, including a massive gouge marking its surface. Following the destruction of the North Tower, the rest of the building was effectively erased, leaving only remnants of its former structure—primarily a cluster of steel beams jutting from the ground.
These visual representations of destruction serve as reminders of the trauma that unfolded on that fateful day. As observers look at the remains of World Trade Center 3 from across the space once occupied by Tower 1, they are forced to confront the reality of what was lost and the extent of human suffering that ensued.
