[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":ebaea]Haven't they learnt the lessons of the dangers of tall buildings? It would truly suck if another plane flew into this one...

How come it isnt 1783 feet high, thats the year you guys won the war isn't it?[/quote:ebaea]

The point is to show that we will not let terrorist dictate how we live our lives or build our building.

The 1776 date is more significant to the US because that is the year we declared our independence.
The fact that it took 7 years for England to decide they didnt want to commit the resources to put down the rebellion is an afterthought. We have considered ourselves independent since 1776.
