The new WTC

The new design of WTC 1 has an enormous amount of new features, both for that of safety and in remembrance of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.   Of all the features dedicated to remembering 9/11 the most intriguing has to be at the tip of the antenna, there will be a rotating beacon flashing in Morris code of the letter N for New York. In addition to the beacon the tower itself is 1776 feet tall, the tallest building in the U.S. also represents the date of independence. Amongst the dedication to the country this tower has new and some old safety features.   The the safety features include something called i-Crete a much stronger version of concrete that was used in the original tower 1. Also an astounding 45,000 tons of structural steel as much as 6 Elfie Towers. As of today the towers are set to open some time next year with their new safety features and memorabilia toward all who lost their lives in September of 2001.
