Twin Towers appearance
Plot LocationBoth Towers (With Antenna)
The twin towers are visible in the New York City skyline during the film's citywide attack sequence.
Trivia: The Twin Towers were the only Manhattan landmark left standing, albeit heavily damaged, after the film's alien attack on the city, an irony given the September 11 attacks five years later.
