World Trade Center

The World Trade Center (known as the Twin Towers) is a major site in New York City. It has been appearing in both Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3 during the Soviet invasion on the city.

In 1993, a car bomb exploded here and only six people were killed with more than 1,000 injured. Eight years later was a tragedy when two planes hit the Twin Towers, causing them to collapse to the ground. One plane hit the Pentagon and the other came down in the US state of Pennsylvania. More than 2,000 were killed, but some were victims in New York, the Pentagon and the four planes.

The Soviet Invasions
Following Lone Guardian and Yuri's success of Washington DC, the Soviet Commander (GWWIII) was sent by Zofia to the city of New York. Building a base and vehicles gave Yuri more time to defeat the Allied Forces at the World Trade Center. Without the possiblity of moving slow, the Soviet troopers ran fast and destroying the enemy to capture the Battle Lab. As of the Psychic Beacon, Soviet troops defend it well as Allied paradrops were sent in and with the city under control, the Soviet Union won the victorious defeat of the United States.

In 1986 after Cherdenko was killed at the Easter Islands with Field Marshall Robert Bingham at the side of him, the Soviet Commander (WWIII) was sent by Dasha back to New York, again. The Allies were on high alert as Terror Drones sparked a scream to the capitalist people and destroying enemy forces before reaching the Statue of Liberty. Tanya destroyed the four Dreadnoughts (like Lone Guardian), but the Commander shot her dead and topple the site to end the capitalism environment for Moskvin. The Lenin statue replaces America's old one and when becoming Premier, the Soviet leader turns the city into Commandergrad.

Behind the Scenes
The World Trade Center appears in RA2 and RA3, but after the September 11 attacks in 2001 was that Red Alert 2's creators didn't know and what choice do they have. By then, they said that the WTC should be in the game instead.
