windows on the world did not rotate

Now that I think about it, you're right. It's been a few years and I'm confusing it with some other place.

Still, like you said, it was a magical place.

What a shame.

Needs a nuclear reactor

A couple of round containment domes at the base would complete the phallic theme. It's interesting the Arabs are going for the tallest record after attacking the Twin Towers. There's an obvious phallic competition going on.

So we should wimp out and not build anything taller than 60 story skyscrapers?

Looks like a drill bit.

Yeah, but with a reverse thread. How's that supposed to work?

The new design looks like it's missing the "spire".
I much prefer the original design:

Much closer to Chicago, is the Renaissance Center in Detroit, with a rotating restaurant and bar at the top. The views are spectacular at night, seeing the "wheel", the river and Windsor. I know, I know, "who would want to vacation is Detroit???"...
