I'm surprised no one else mentioned this...

Will you people quit posting links that require registration? Humph... well I assume this is what you were talking about:</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Blah, the CN Tower is still 200 feet taller than that design.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Yup. Tallest structure in the world. As for tallest building.....I think that's in Indonesia or Malaysia.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Towers those size are flawed by design. When a plane hit the Pentagon, only a section of the Pentagon was damaged, yet one plane each managed to destroy the entire towers.</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Uhm.... they arent exactly designed to take a plane :) It's for maximizing the space available at the base, that's all. Of course you're going to give up some structural integrity, but building something like the pentagon isn't optimal for a place like New York :p</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I wonder how you think, sometimes. The Pentagon is clearly not in a plane's line of flight, unlike skyscrapers.....hence the term....Skyscrapers. The WTC had plane accidents in mind. Unfortunately, they didn't considere fuel melting the structure. Just the impact.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>It was also designed for the biggest plane AT THE TIME, so a 747 wasn't part of its scheme, either. In any case, it's simply not a good idea to build a building THAT tall if you don't have to.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Sine.....this is NEW YORK CITY. Not Flat Rock, Colorado. Read Oracle's reply.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>BTW...747's were around in 1972.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>It ~is~ bigger. So? Should all building be more than 4 stories high now? Is that your point?</div>
