Almost 3,000 died that day after two hijacked airplanes crashed into the twin tower buildings of the World Trade Center. New York City Mayor Giuliani declared, "The skyline will be made whole again," but eight years later it is a memorial site and visitors center. The New York Port Authority said this spring, that Larry Silverstein's plan may not be developed until 2030, according to ABC News.

In the months that followed September 11, 2001 New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hailed as one of the crisis' heroes for his quick action and grace under pressure. Oprah Winfrey called him "America's Mayor" and in 2001 Time Magazine called him "Person of the Year," according to ABC News.
