I too used to lament the fact that 1WTC wouldn't break any new height records, save for being the tallest in the Western Hemisphere counting spire height..However, the dye is already cast, and 1WTC will only be as tall (by roof height) as the old twin towers, and the spire will bring it 1,776 ft. We just have to accept it and enjoy it once finished. It may not break any global records, but it will be a major icon for NYC and the country. That's special in itself. And at least it will be equaling the height of the old towers, which is no small feat. And like the previous poster said, there are other potentially taller structures in the works for NYC, namely 432 Park.
