Empire State Building is now 14th. Even WTC1 would only just make it into 10th place were it still intact.

One of the weirdest "ensembles" I've ever seen...

And that tall tower at right (reflecting the sun) is stunning. Easily one of the best designs of that kind (it'd make a nice trophy wife for BOA-nyc).

It does have a Bruce Willis movie / comic book quality to it.
