The first attack on the world trade cent was by a group of conspirators. The attack happen on feburary 26,1993. The bomb wen off in the north tower around 12:00 pm.The nitrate hydrogen gas enhanced device was supposed to knock the North Tower over then collide with the South Tower so that both towers would collapse and fall.
Ramzi Yousef and a Jordanian friend, eyadlsmoil drove a yellow van into Manhattan, and pulled into the public parking garage under the World Trade Center around. Yousef ignited the 20-foot fuse, and fled. the bomb exploded and generating an estimated pressure of 150,000 psi. When the bomb was done exploding the pressure caused alot of damage in the world trade center, It was a hole 98ft wide. The bomb also caused the electricity to go out and a lot of smoke to rise throughout the building.
Before the bombing took place there were alot of people inside including elemtary school students. Even though the impact of the bomb was very big only six people died and 1,042 people were injured. the impact was big but not big enough because most of the people who were injured was injured mostly during the evacuation. Also the North Tower was able to have constuction work done to fix the damage made by the bomb.
