Welcome back to the Top of the World

For some visitors, wtc-top.com may be a familiar doorway—to a school trip being planned, an evening above the city, or the first time the skyline seemed close enough to touch. For others, this will be a first glimpse of a small corner of the web as it existed before September 11, 2001.

This restoration is offered with care for everyone who remembers the Twin Towers, the people who worked in and visited them, and the ordinary days that once filled these pages. Nothing here can restore what was lost. It can, perhaps, preserve a moment: New York looking toward tomorrow, and a website inviting the world to the top.

When you are ready, step back into August 2001.
