[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] I am told that the majority of the cost of the tower was to be paid from insurance of the destroyed twin towers. I think it is the owners of the properties that are trying to build this tower, and not any governing body. Never once did I see any form of government figuring into construction of this building until today, and even so, I don't think any member of Bush's political team was there. It was all Pataki and Bloomberg. That's one heck of an insurance payoff. As for whether or not this is patriotism and arrogance, I'll reserve my judgement. At the very least, they are keeping the original footprints of the twin towers intact. The only reason why they are building it that high is that the original specs for the building called for it to be 1776 feet (1776 being the year of American independence). [/QB][/QUOTE]
