4. One World Trade Center - 1,776 ft
The attacks on the original World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, were events that helped change the world. The twin towers, as they were known, were completely destroyed in the attacks, along with some other buildings that were in the vicinity.
The decision was made to build a new tower on the site of the Six World Trade Center building, which was also destroyed in the attacks of 9/11. The new tower, which stands at 1,776 ft is taller than the original twin towers. The One World Trade Center is the tallest tower in the United States and the tallest in the Western hemisphere.
