yep. roof height is 1368 feet (original 1 wtc was also 1368 feet roof height, but its antenna spire only reached up to 1727 feet)

1368 was the year that Moscow attacked Tver, which counter-attacked with the aid of Lithuania and the Blue Horde! it's just like in Ukraine!

what symbolism is this‽

also i really like the 'build it the exact same' idea

idk if i like it in the same way that the actual engineer likes it, but it's an amazing "gently caress you" to just rebuild it exactly the same as it was before

also you'd save everybody a lot of money because then they wouldn't have to go back and edit the towers of poo poo because i guess that's now a trigger for america

tbh the new design incorporates features that should result in pretty heavily reduced energy usage, what with the original design being very firmly a "energy's cheap so who cares" era building.

funny thing is they claim the gold was under the twin towers and they were allowed to fall to cover it up.

the actual gold vaults were under 4 wtc, which was the only building on site to be structurally sound after the 9/11 (though the hole in the roof was uneconomical to repair so it was eventually demolished)
