Best Answer

The official ribbon cutting ceremony of the twin towers was April 4, 1973, however, tenants were accepted into the North building in December 1970 (the same month that the topping-out ceremony was performed), and the South building in January 1972.

So in terms of building completion itself, the North tower stood for 30 years and 10 months. The South tower stood for 28 years and 9 months. In terms of the official ribbon cutting ceremony, the towers stood for 27 years, 5 months.

What did people of ny think of The World Trade Center?

Before they collapsed the World Trade Centers were the beloved icons of New York, and symbolized the prosperity and ambition of the era in which they were constructed. They were massive monoliths commemorating the success of New York and served as beacons of hope which welcomed all privileged enough to enter the beautiful New York Harbor. Perhaps I live merely in nostalgia, but sometimes I look up unto that New York skyline, and see the twins staring back at me. Long live the Twins. Long live New York. Long life America.

What led to the decline in Mayan population centers in the central lowlands during the 9th century?

The decline of Mayan population centers in the central lowlands during the 9th century is attributed to a combination of factors. These include prolonged droughts, environmental degradation due to deforestation and over-farming, warfare and conflict among Maya city-states, and the collapse of long-distance trade networks. These factors contributed to social, political, and economic instability, ultimately leading to the abandonment and decline of the central Mayan urban centers.
