    I'm bummed this never got finished at that the replacement twin towers for the site are significantly shorter than even an earlier version of it. Santiago Calatrava is a modern masterpiece architect, so seeing his projects unfinished hurts... Especially ones of this size, scale and scope...

    I just looked up Santiago and the US should definitely start taking a lot of his designs. They look amazing for different bridges different buildings. I mean they have a few, but they can use a few more.. His work is amazing

      He has several in Florida of all places. One on the I-4 and I think several campus buildings at Embry Riddle in Daytona, His transit center at the World Trade Center is amazing.

    The design of the Spire looks more like a drill bit!

    Apparently, two towers are going onto that property.

    I just realised that America wastes a lot of money. A lot. Vacant to unfinished building projects

    Curious. Are you going to cover that silly tall building in Oklahoma?
    I can't say I like these buildings. But surely it would be nice to see one up close. I am not one that wants to go visit China or Arab states just to see tall buildings. Selfish I know.

      There's plenty of flat earth for people like you... It's called Iowa. I suggest you look into it!

    Short version of this video. Couldn't get the financing. Go on to next video.

    The moment they bring in the unions, the costs skyrocket due to the grossly high wages that are paid to the union boys. THAT'S what really killed this project! Yes, there was a recession that helped to stop it, but when costs soar to outlandish amounts, virtually any project will be doomed.
