kill me guys. I know that you are unhappy to know this, but taller towers will come. 225 West 57th Street, 432 Park Avenue, and etc will help us defeat Chicago so don't panic if this isn't the one...
Well first off, nobody is "defeating" Chicago. And the building won't match the height of the twins exactly in either form. Did we rebuild a tower of similar height? Yes. Is the skyline restored? Pretty much.

I don't care if the mast is included in the height either. Just don't tell me that mast as is was designed as an architectural addition to the tower, which otherwise looks fine by itself.
