It is indeed 108 floors, and 1,368' is not roof height - that's the height of the top parapet and curtain walls used to hide rooftop equipment. Actual roof height is about 15 feet shorter than that.

The base itself was probably designed to prevent the tower from being a target of a truck bomb, but the location of the tower itself changed slightly due to concerns from the NYPD over exactly that concern. Either way, Freedom Tower is being constructed to become one of the safest, if not the safest building in NYC and abroad.

When are they planning to build Fulton Street past the site? Is that upcoming, or will they build it in a later stage?

^ Don't be too quick when analyzing the facts concerned with the "world". Remember, the world is a very big place. Thats a problem with some people. I bet there are tens of thousands of people in NYC who still think that the Freedom Tower is going to be the tallest building in the world when theres a 2000' high roof U/C not 800 miles away.

It'll rank up there in terms of office buildings. But when you take government buildings into consideration, I'm sure that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of buildings more secure than the Freedom Tower.

The WTC as a whole will be a very safe and secure complex of buildings. They are sparing no expense in regards to safety, among other things.

New York is not alone in that regard. People generally don't have interests in skyscrapers, and half of them still think the Empire State is world's tallest. Very big place indeed.

but it is. how could there be one safer. there would not be a reson to make it safer because no other tower has had 9/11 happen. there making sure its the safest .
it is a fact its the safest skyscraper

NOTE: i said skyscraper

and you are right. im sure a 1 floor building is safer then any skyscraper but it also depends on hight

Most likely sometime between today and 2011.

In all seriousness, though. I believe I've heard September or October as a reasonable guess to see the first floors start popping up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
