How do you figure that?

The Freedom Tower is suppossed to be the tallest buing in the USA. And I don't think the Sears' antenna counts as height for the tower.

Match them up side by side in a pic, if you can, so that they can be compared, please.

Yeah, but Sears stands alone, not with 4 supertall and near-supertall neighbors. The scale of the new WTC project is awesome.

There seems to be something growing on the last remaining webcam.
Could it be a crane???

Regardless of the Sears, the Freedom Tower most likely will not hold the US record for very long. The Chicago Spire is on the way...

There's still no official confirmation as to whether that tower is going to be built.

It'll probably be a while for a decision, as was the Freedom Tower during its
design stages.

Where is the photo of the incriminating crane?

Geez, that's a very crappy photo they took!

Couldn't they do a little better than that? That "crane" that's supposed to be
set up looks like a pile driver.

And BTW, we all know that 7 WTC is 7 WTC, right? So why did the media screw up and call it 7 WFC? I think someone got their wires crossed.

The first WTC was going to be built regardless once suitable land was found.

demolished anyway because it was practically a ghost town.

WRONG AGAIN

GHOST TOWN? HARDLY! .......it was an old section of low and high rise old buildings full of stores and low income /poor tenants....who put up a fight against a powerful agency (PA NY NJ) and the Governor to no avail. it took YEARS to buy them out or take away their land...it went to the courts who sided with the developers.

1962

"Business owners in Lower Manhattan's "Radio Row" object to World Trade Center development plans, asserting the project will destroy the local landscape along with their businesses. They begin a series of protests and challenges that will delay construction for four years."

1966

"Over a rising tide of protests, demolition activities begin for "Radio Row" and the Hudson-Manhattan Terminal buildings, followed by groundbreaking and the start of construction for the new World Trade Center."

1971

" With technological advances paving the way for unprecedented building heights, the first of World Trade Center's Twin Towers – the south tower – is topped off. The Towers are the first skycrapers ever built without the use of masonry. Instead, engineers use a drywall system reinforced by steel cores.
"

1973

A ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorates the official opening of the World Trade Center, comprised of the Twin Towers and four other buildings occupying the site. At 1368 and 1362 feet – 110 stories each and over 100 feet taller than the Empire State Building – the Towers are now the tallest buildings in the world.

I MISS THEM....

Higher than the ESB maybe. The Freedom Tower will rise to 1,776 ft. Nothing on Sears reaches that high.

Sorry guys looks like i got it wrong. looks like a pile driver. And i was on about the earthcam webcam.

Oh and yes the sears tower has a higher roof hight, but the spire on FT counts, which makes it taller. Sorry, And no amout of moaning will change that fact.

Oh please. Save the drama, dude. I KNOW all this stuff.

Why don't you stop this foolishness? As of late, all you've done is to come back here to keep on saying that I or others are friggen wrong!

You're not telling me for one thing, anything that I don't already know. I followed the history about the Twin Towers right after the terror attacks, so save your breath please, and tell someone who doesn't know.

And yes, Mr, Einstein, I also already know about the fight that the tenants of the stores had put up against the PA to keep it from evicting them and grabbing the property to build the Twins, so all of this is just wasted breath, like I said. It was eminent domain.
