The Freedom Tower will have a major impact on the New York skyline while minimizing its impact on the environment. Designers say the world's tallest building will include a wind farm, solar panels and advanced, energy-efficient technology, and will become an icon of environmentally friendly architecture.
The 1,776-foot-high skyscraper, which was designed by architectural firms Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Studio Daniel Libeskind, will be constructed on the site of the World Trade Center, and is scheduled to be completed in 2009.

not really, i just bet that's what'll happen.
i wonder if they will design this one with anti-terror technology.... like everyone above the 100th floor has to wear a parachute to work, and everyone below has to learn how to slide down a firemans pole. |

I can assure you that the US government has a few surprises in store for the Freedom Tower as far as defense is concerned.
Just watch. When that building opens, there are going to be more than a few "special features" unveiled. |

| Nell is right, it will become the juiciest target in the entire world for terrorism. Yeah, it's a cool idea, but they better have some really cool tricks up their sleeves to protect it. |

Great, a new skyscraper, but is anyone going to be willing to go to work there?
Cool, nonetheless. |
