NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Wednesday marks 27 years since the first attack on the World Trade Center, an event some say should have been the true wake up call for America.

On Feb. 26. 1993, in an underground parking garage beneath the North Tower, a 1,200-pound bomb was detonated at 12:18 p.m.

“New York is a target, it’s the number one target,” Kelly told WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell and Tim Scheld in this week’s 880 In Depth Podcast.

The sentiment was true in 1993, in 2001, and it’s still true today.
