Introduction
Simple. Elegant. Impeccable. These very words were used in the iconic 1980's film, Working Girl. However, they are perhaps the most accurate description of the true wonders - the Twin Towers that existed at the former World Trade Center complex in New York. Shimmering in the elaborate variation of sunlight, like New York's two mood rings, the Twin Towers instantaneously became an American icon, unmistakable and easily recognizable to everyone around the globe. The saying was "The closest some people could ever get to heaven." Sadly, this came true, as the twins, along with 3,000 other people, went up in ashes in the deadliest terrorist attack this country has ever encountered. However, one person had the most clever idea to bring these towers back to life, somehow...somewhere...in a completely different dimension...

EmperorBOSS took on the task to recapture the massive grandeur the Twins once created, by building an accurate model of the World Trade Center complex, completely intact, in MInecraft. This model portrays the magnificent appearance of the whole complex, as it was in mid-July of 2001, examples being the red signs, the presence of international flags adorning the circular balconies in the lobbies of the Twin Towers, and a large stage with benches in front of the North Tower, offering concerts all summer long.
