Why in God's name do these buildings have to have such a long and useless spire on top?!

I think the movie has something to do with... something about dramatic sequences they can film around... -
I still prefer the big Cross with the Mecha-Jesus that could be used to swat down annoying hijacked airplanes.
Can't have everything I guess.

Oh God, what the **** have they done to NYC's skyline!?
(i don't like it)
GePap pointed out that it looks rather isolated. It might be a beautiful building on its own (to some few people somewhere) but I fail to see how it "fits" with the surrounding skyline at all. Maybe I'm just not an arteest.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

The Trade Towers were very masculine. This is a somewhat feminine building.
Am I the only who thinks it looks like an abstract (cubistic(?)) statue of liberty?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Well, to be serious for a moment, those are TV transmission towers.Why in God's name do these buildings have to have such a long and useless spire on top?!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

That first "rendering" is one of the most akward looking scenes I've ever seen used in the proffession. The main spire tower looks decent, but would someone please slam a few (robotic) passenger airlines into those nasty little (unoccupied) quartz growths behind it?Last edited by Zylka; December 19, 2003, 19:43.Comment

For perspective, the current skyline (as shot from a supermarket parking lot in Bayonne, New Jersey); the Empire State Building is far left, and you can make out the Statue of Liberty on the far right:Attached FilesLast edited by The Mad Monk; December 19, 2003, 20:28.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Still 60 feet short.
The tower's height of 1,776 feet, symbolic for the year of American independence, includes a 276-foot spire.
In addition, a broadcast antenna attached to the tower is to bring the structure's total height above 2,000 feet.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)Comment
