Symbol of Resilience: One World Trade Center (with music) (duplicated)

What if I told you the tallest building in America was designed to symbolize a specific year in U.S.

history? This is One World Trade Center, better known as the Freedom Tower

— standing exactly 1,776 feet tall, a direct tribute to the year of American independence.

That height makes it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, with a spire engineered to resist intense

coastal winds. Built after the tragedy of 9/11, engineers designed it with some of

the strongest reinforced concrete ever used in a skyscraper. And it sits right next to the Memorial,

grounding the new skyline in remembrance. One of its coolest features? The tower rotates

from a square base to an octagon as it rises — reducing wind pressure and giving it that iconic
