Agreed. The building TECHNICALLY isn't even going to be 1,776 ft. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the precise measurement on the ground around the base to the very tip top tip of 1WTC, it will be 1,787 feet. (I'm even hearing 1,792; including the lightning rod).

THEN AGAIN, that may change now since apparently it's okay to do sudden changes to the architecture.
