Second Trade Center Tower Collapses After Attack

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The second of the two World Trade Center towers collapsed Tuesday morning, about half an hour after the first of the twin towers crashed to earth following an attack by two planes on the complex, according to live television.

The collapse of the two structures left lower Manhattan engulfed in smoke and debris. The towers were struck by two airplanes in short succession earlier Tuesday morning.
