How does this cover help us to remember the Twin Towers?
The Twin Towers were famous buildings in New York City that people from all over the world could recognize. On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked, or taken over, by nineteen terrorists and flown into important buildings. Two of those planes were flown into the Twin Towers. The damage caused both towers to collapse or fall down. This forever changed the skyline of New York City.
The 9/11 Memorial opened on September 11, 2011, 10 years after the attacks. The Memorial is meant to remember the victims of 9/11.
