Rising From The Ashes

Mark Lennihan / Associated Press
Just in time for the one year anniversary of the death of Osama Bin Laden, the amazing One World Trade Center building became the tallest building in New York. Workers raised a steel beam that propelled it to a height of 1,250 feet; just over the observation deck at the Empire State Building. And it's not finished.

At completion, the new building will reach a staggering 1,776 feet, honoring American independence, and will be the tallest building in the United States as well as the third tallest in the world.
