And hurricanes had nothing to do with One57's height.

Are you referring to the dangling crane following the hurricane? That is the only relevant link between One57 and Sandy. What I'm wondering, though, is why you think hurricanes would impact building height.

I am not saying hurricanes determine height of the building. I was referring to NY Times article and the damaged crane on One57 after Sandy. The article states that Mr. Barnett might take this incident into consideration when determining final height of the tower. That's it.

I just hope they will not make this building shorter, whatever the reason.
