TLs that still have original WTC

Starting when it opened on April 4, 1973 what is the percentage of timelines that still have the original World Trade Center buildings intact? 90%? 99%? It just seems like 9/11 was close to an ASB event to me. Or was the destruction of such a monument inevitable?
 
No it was certainly not inevitable. As I recall (and this isn't my field at all) it was chosen because a lot of Jewish men worked there :( . It could have been a number of other targets (there were of course). Anything from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building.
 
It was also highly symbolic - a strike at America's financial dominance and her military power (remember the Pentagon) on the same day, combined with an attempted attack on the seat of her government (Flight 93).

Well, the Empire State Building would be harder to hit. The WCS I think, is the easiest target of value in New York City.

It all depends on time and luck. If America's geopolitical situation changes, the Cold War drags on, Saddam stays out of Kuwait (no US troops on Saudi soil), Bin Laden mellows out, Bill Clinton hunts them down even harder, or security catches them they survive. Even an earlier war on terror would help to save them.
