Incidentally, the Sears tower is taller than the new Malaysian towers, as I recently learned. Apparently, They beat the published Sear heght only by including the base structure ofr broadcasting towers. When the comparable structures of the Sears tower are included, it still reigns.

That's what we Illinoians have been trying to explain for years. While those Malaysians "techinically" have the "tallest" building in the world, due to the ornate structures on top of the tower...NEVERTHELESS, the Sears Tower still has the world's highest occupied floor, highest antenna, and highest observation deck.
I'm all for New Yawwwwwk building a bigger World Trade Center to give these terrorists the finger, but rest accured, Donald Trump had already announced plans weeks ago to build a 200+ story building in Chicago, Illinois. We're no. #1!!!
