- It has been proposed that this page, :Ground Zero, be titled, "Ground Zero".
The term Ground Zero describes the site of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, destroyed in the terrorist outrage of September 11 2001. However, it was coined much earlier, to describe the center of impact of the first atomic bomb at Hiroshima in 1945, and was also often used for disasters with a geographical epicenter, such as earthquakes.
