Author Topic: WTC Height Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 09-05-2003 08:59 AM                     Was the 300+ ft. tower atop the WTC included in the claimed height of the building? It seems that many of the over 1000 foot buildings are 800 to 900 feet or less with towers added to increase the height hype. Actual heights of the actual buildings are difficult to find.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-05-2003 09:26 AM                     Try doing a search under World's Tallest Buildings.

The observation deck was 1362 feet from grade. The top of the transmission tower on the other building was 1710 feet. The 1710 part is an easy one to remember for me thanks to a Lawton-to-New York City drive that was 1710 miles.  |  IP: Logged
