&andrsdtz ok I've seen Chicago been there there is no comparison I'm from NYC now living in LA NYC has almost 5,000 thousand commercial buildings or more compared to chicagos 2,000 when the twin towers were up there was no touching NYC they were more massive and than the Willis tower even tho Willis was taller by 80ft which is nothing! NYC is just in a class by itself ask around

[andrsdtz]

@1977Brehon its true that NYC and Chicago are two quite different Cities. You can´t compare them cause each of them has its qualities. Also they are set on totally different locations, one on Manhatten between the Hudson and Chicago alongside Lake Michigan. Also their histories are quite different. So to end this discussion you got valid points and NYC is a great city but I prefer Chicago :P

The empire state building is more beautiful and recognizable than that sears tower Aka Willis that's like comparing Donald trump to your local garbage man fuck outta here! NYC hands down best city in the world 10 million strong

@1977Brehon every City has its good sides and i agree that the Empire State Building sure is an Icon of its Time period alongside Chrysler. Chicago tho is where the home of the Skyscraper is and was

[andrsdtz]

yes sadly this project is most likely dead now. no more comments needed!

The Freedom Tower will probably be done before the spire

I hope those Hard workers are getting paid good.

@andrstdz. Check my new comment

[1977Brehon]

@ andrstdz check my new comment on page new York perfected the skyscraper Chicago may have invented I've been in Chicago no comparison I'm a native of NYC when those twin towers were up they were much more massive and made the face of NYC they dwarf the empire state building and yeah 80ft shorter but still the two city's don't compare ask around NY hands down

I sprayed my famous D I A R R H E A into that gaping hole of construction. It smelled so PUTRID and RANCID that construction was permanently halted. :-D

the sears tower is 1827ft tall , the spire is suppose to be 1998ft any higher then it will be into faa airspace!
