Both towers would have stood, but the damage would have been so obvious that Americans would pressure the government to abandon its military bases in the Middle East. D.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) One tower would have collapsed into the other, killing thousands and destroying a purported symbol of wealth and greed.

What would have happened if the first attack on the World Trade Center (in 1993) had been successful is that one tower would have collapsed into the other, killing thousands and destroying a purported symbol of wealth and greed.

On February 26, 1993, a bomb exploded below the second World Trade Center tower. It was 12:38 in the afternoon. The terrorist exploded 1,200 pounds of explosives, killing 6 people and more than 1000 people were injured. This attack proved the vulnerability of the country in the prevention of terrorist attacks.
