That was pretty much my argument, it's rather silly they didn't think of it before

I realize the depth, I wasn't necessarily talking about floors, they could just extend that antenna if they really wanted to, to reach the old WTC's height.

Plus they could add a floor or two, they already took one of the office floors away according to STR, and changed the top already why couldn't they do it again? (put it back I mean)
