In commemoration of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, the 9\/11 Tribute Museum<\/strong> is re-releasing its online exhibit, February 26, 1993 \u2013 World Trade Center Bombing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On February 26, 1993, terrorists drove a van into the parking garage below the North Tower of the World Trade Center. They left the site and detonated the bomb, and the explosion killed six people who were working in the area of the blast. Thousands of people were injured as they evacuated the buildings and descended the dark and smoky staircases, a process that took almost ten hours.<\/p>\n

In repairing the relatively minimal damage to the buildings, The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey took many steps to improve safety conditions, including the installation of advanced ventilation, battery operated emergency lights, and glow-in-the-dark tape on the stairs. Many people credit these improvements with the great number of people who were able to evacuate from the World Trade Center on 9\/11.[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_pageable no_fill_content_area=”1″ active_section=”1″ pagination_style=”flat-round”][vc_tta_section title=”Quote 1″ tab_id=”1512750975705-57cfe930-e6a2″][mk_blockquote font_family=”none” font_size_combat=”true” text_size=”24″]There were 9 of us in that elevator at 12:18pm on the afternoon of February 26, when all of a sudden the elevator just jolted to a stop\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
