height of freedom tower
The World Trade Center's Twin Towers were New York's tallest buildings from the 1970s until they were destroyed in 2001 in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. When the new building reaches its full height in about a year, it will be the tallest in America, and the third tallest in the world. Freedom Tower will stand 1,776 feet high and boast 104 floors. That is 408 feet taller than the Twin Towers.
