On February 26,1993 a bomb exploded in New York City's World Trade Center.At the time,55,000 people were working in the Twin Towers,and thousands of thers were visiting the 110-storey-world-famous tourist attraction. The explosion ,which took place a little after noon,killed six people and injured more than a thousand others.It took all day and half the night to get everyone out of the building. When the bomb exploded ,the lights went out,the elevators stopped,and fires started. Many people were in the wrong place at the wrong time . Four co-workers were eating lunch in their offices when the explosion shook the Twin Towers.When the blast occured the building's walls were crumbling and the ceilings were collapsing .Rescue workers arrived within fifteen minutes and found the workers dead .One man was walking in the garage beneath the World Trade Center when the bomb went off.He had a heart attack while rescue workers were carring him to the ambulance.Sixty schoolchildren were luckier . They were riding the huge elevators when the lights went out and the elevators stopped.The children and their teachers had to stand in the hot dark space as they waited for help.Six hours later ,when the elevator reached the ground floor ,the school bus driver was waiting for them.He drove the children home to their worried families . How did the children feel while all this was happening? "We were scared," they answered.This is one class trip they will never forget
