re: new doubts on wtc collapse... grant62 Hi San Felipe,

I agree about not getting in the way of a good story, but several more comments may be of interest to you:

1.
Whilst I found your Fibonacci observation interesting, I found the following even more interesting:

"The Freedom Tower ... is to rise 1,776 feet -- a nod to the year the United States declared its independence."

2.
The Freedom Tower is now being re-designed.

"The proposed tallest building in the world....will be redesigned..."A new design for the Freedom Tower is required," Pataki said, citing security concerns raised in recent weeks by the New York Police Department....
Certain details, such as the 1,776-foot height and the 276-foot spire, are expected to remain, according to an official familiar with the plan."

3.
And, challenging the notion of the world's tallest building:
"The construction of what will be the world's tallest building is set to begin in Dubai, United Arab Emirates..... The Burj Dubai tower will stand 800 metres tall - just 5 metres shy of half a mile - once completed in 2008. That will be nearly 300 metres taller than the tallest floored building in the world today, the Taipei Tower in Taiwan".

And:
"Even at 1,776 feet, the Freedom Tower might not be the world's tallest upon completion....The stainless steel Burj Dubai tower, shrouded in mystery as it goes up in the United Arab Emirates, could be taller."

Rather than the being the tallest, the inspiration for the Freedom Tower may have (and remain as having) everything to do with core American values, founded in the 13 colonies, the War of Independence, etc.
