Actually something I've been wondering. WTC1 needs the big rod because of the spire filled with electronic gear and antennas connected to really expensive radios. You can't keep all the lightning off of the delicate stuff, but the rod will channel most of it.
If they don't garbage up WTC2 with a bunch of ugly antennas the peak of building frame might do the job.


Jeez. I thought STR cleared this up- the spire itself is now taller. The 1787 ft number does NOT include the lighting rod.
