In the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (February 26, 1993) a car bomb (Ryder rental van) was detonated by Radical Islamic terrorists in the underground parking garage below Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. The 1,500-lb (680 kg) urea nitrate-fuel oil device was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into Tower Two, bringing both towers down and killing up to 250,000 people. It failed to do so, but did kill six people and injured 1,042.
