People's Journal of New York (27 February 1993)
The World Trade Center, world-renown symbol of the power and influence of the United Socialist States of America, was attacked yesterday by terrorists. Residents of New York City watched in horror as the North Tower of the WTC was knocked into the South Tower, bringing both towers down in a blast of smoke and flames. The full death toll has yet to be determined, but New York Commissar Lynch estimates it to be in the thousands.
OOC: The premise of this TL is twofold: that the USA is a socialist nation (freer than the USSR but very Marxist/socialist), and that the 1993 bombing of the WTC succeeded as Ramzi Yousef planned.
