It's a soulless corporate icicle, a vertical morgue for cubicle monkeys, without the slightest nod to the events of 9/11. As a replacement for the Twins it is a disgrace. Anyone can see that the toothpick on top is laughably out of proportion to the tower below. The radome would have alleviated that, but still could not have saved this hapless tower. Too bad New York failed to architecturally honor the events of 9/11.

The tower obviously echoes the original Twins, especially towards the top. The towers height is the same as the original twins. There is a massive, beautiful memorial at its base. You're in no position to be talking about "honoring 9/11". You may or may not know this, but many "cubicle monkeys" died on 9/11, doing their jobs, just like so many other New Yorkers in skyscrapers all throughout the city. I'm just going to assume you're a troll.
