25 years ago, on February 26, 1993, Pakistani Islamist Ramzi Ahmed Yousef and five of his associates, who belonged to Al-Qaeda, blew up a truck filled with 606 kg of explosives in the underground garage of the World Trade Center in New York. According to the plan of the terrorists, the blown up northern tower was supposed to fall on the southern one, destroying it. Then thousands of people would have died. But the tower survived.
