When the Twin Towers collapsed on September 11‚ 2001‚ they made a sound heard around New York as a roar‚ or distant thunder. The South Tower was the first to go. Its upper floors tilted briefly before dropping‚ and driving the building straight down to the ground. Many people died‚ and many others were lucky enough to make it out alive.
