The World Trade Center is being reborn and the History Channel and Column Five have teamed up together to bring you an infograph of all the details going into the massive rebuild.

“[The original twin towers] … were built at a time when New York’s future seemed uncertain, the towers restored confidence and helped bring a halt to the decline of lower Manhattan. Brash, glitzy, and grand, they quickly became symbols of New York.”
—David Johnson and Shmuel Ross, World Trade Center History
