More than a decade after a terrorist attack brought down New York's twin towers, their under-construction replacement will become the city's tallest building on Monday.
The placement of a column of the 100th floor will bring the colossal new steel structure of One World Trade Center tower to a height of 1,271 feet – surpassing the frame of the Empire State Building, which is currently New York's tallest skyscraper, by 21 feet.

Tallest building in New York? Great! So does that officially make it a terrorist target?
Yo!
I'm super happy for this building, but my god is it an ugly one. Square that tapers up to a diamond might be the least elegant geometrical shape since that time as a child I hammered in a square peg into a round hole.
