By way of a novel architectural and engineering lens, “Rise & Fall: The World Commerce Middle” recounts the inspiring, true story behind an American icon, and the outstanding group of people that dreamed it and made it actual. No odd pair of buildings, the Twin Towers featured a novel structural design—and dozens of different technical breakthroughs—that made the then-tallest buildings on this planet potential. However did these improvements contribute to their collapse on 9/11? With the assistance of harrowing first-hand testimonies, professional interviews, and never-before-seen graphics, and with the good thing about twenty years of engineering hindsight, viewers will perceive how the Towers rose…and why they fell.
