The original 2 World Trade Center (also known as the South Tower, Tower 2, Building Two, or 2 WTC) was one of the Twin Towers in the original World Trade Center in New York City. The Tower was completed and opened in 1973 at a height of 1,362 feet (415 m) to the roof, distinguishable from its twin, the North Tower (1 World Trade Center), by its outdoor observation deck and the absence of a television antenna. Both the South Tower and the North Tower had mechanical floors, and the same type of walls. On the 107th floor of this building was a popular tourist attraction called "Top of the World Trade Center Observatories," and on the roof was an observation deck accessible to the public and a disused helipad at the center. The address of this building was 2 World Trade Center with the WTC complex having its own ZIP code of 10048.

The South Tower was destroyed along with the North Tower in the September 11 attacks. At 9:03 a.m,[b] seventeen minutes after its twin was hit, the South Tower was struck by United Airlines Flight 175. Although it was the second of the two skyscrapers to be hit by a hijacked airliner, it was the first to collapse, at 9:59 a.m.,[c] after burning for 56 minutes. Of the 2,977 victims killed in the attacks, around 850 were in the South Tower or on the ground.
The new 2 World Trade Center, which is currently on hold, is planned to have a diagonally-pointed roof, with no observation deck, and no mechanical floors. At the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the southern pool marks the spot where the South Tower stood.
Note: Floor numbers in red are part of United Airlines Flight 175's impact area during the September 11 attacks, with floors above this zone marked in dark gray.

Notesedit
^The collapse began at 9:58:59 a.m.; ergo it would not have been fully destroyed until 9:59.
^The exact time is disputed. The 9/11 Commission report says 9:03:11,[3][4] NIST reports 9:02:59,[5] some other sources report 9:03:02.[6]
^NIST and the 9/11 Commission both state that the collapse began at 9:58:59 a.m.,[7]: 80 [8]: 322 which is rounded to 9:59[9]: 84 [10]: 322 for simplicity. If the Commission's claim that the South Tower was struck at 9:03:11 is to be believed, then it collapsed after 55 minutes and 48 seconds, not 56 minutes.
