The skyscrapers in New York City

Together with London and Tokyo it controls the world's finance. There are many high-rise business buildings in this city. People call them skyscrapers. The tallest skyscraper was the World Trade Center. It had 110 floors. Sadly this building was destroyed (摧毁) by the terrorist attack on Sep. 11 2001 and yet the glory and image of it still remain vividly in the memory of the world people. The Empire State Building is not as tall as the World Trade Center but it is the tallest building in New York City now. It has 102 floors.
