I always found it funny there was at least 5 towers in those books that play an important role (Orthanc, Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol and Barad-Dur) and he's just like "Err it's those two" (gestures to Orthanc and Minas Morgul)
Clearly, the two towers represent the two sides of the great struggle between good and evil - Minas Tirith of Gondor and Barad Dur of Mordor.
(Unironically tho it's Orthanc and Barad Dur)
Random, but the WTC was the deadliest construction project in NYC’s history (or second, depending upon how you weight the deaths). Lots of corruption and labor exploitation. From its rise to its fall, the towers were truly a symbol of America 
From their tragic construction to their ambitious end, then?
It’s where they kept the America burger secret recipe. Instead of hiding the recipe in one tower where there’s a very minor but still possible chance it was ever stolen, they decided to split the recipe in half hiding one portion of the recipe in the north tower and the second portion in the south. Both security measures and safeguards for each building hiding the recipe were entirely different which made it harder for thieves to accomplish stealing both parts of the recipe.
9/11 happened because on 9/10 Bush learned of a secret and unstoppable plan the Taliban had to steal both halves of the recipe, which was to be executed on 9/12.
What Were the Twin Towers?
Most drama-filled corporate downsizing in history.
Temples to the Sins of Blasphemy and Avarice!
The twin towers were Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.
I thought the twin towers were The Big Bossman and the One Man Gang
