(CNN) - Monday marks the 25th anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Six people were killed in the incident, and more than a thousand were injured.

Authorities convicted six suspects for their roles in the bombing.

A seventh suspect, Abdul Rahman Yasin, was never captured.

The explosion blew out a hole 200 feet by 100 feet and caused the Port Authority Trans-Hudson station ceiling to collapse.

The World Trade Center reopened slightly more than a month after the bombing.

The towers collapsed in 2001 in the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed more than 2,700 in Manhattan.
