The ESB wouldn't be the icon it is if it were a simple box - part of it's appeal is it's design. The only reason the twin towers were so well known was because at the time of their design they were the tallest buildings in the world but more importantly, there were two of them right next to one another. Plus, 9/11 helped cement them into our memories - the "dead rock star" effect, if you will.
