It was originally planned to have a roof height of 1,175 feet, going to 1,240 ft to the spires. Later, the building was shortened to 1,079 feet, with a spire height of 1170 feet, and the X-Bracing was removed.
I liked it more when it was taller; it resembled the South Tower, and had the same domineering presence on the skyline.
