		Currently, the fire department was putting the onus on the builders to equip their skyscrapers with internal fire- fighting devices because the departmentâs snorkel does not reach beyond 45 metres.

		Critics argue that the tower's claim to the "tallest" title is cheap since 276 feet are part of an uninhabitable spire; still, when all is said and done, the tallest habitable building in the world right now--Taipei 101, which climbs 1,667 feet high--will be 109 feet shorter than the Freedom Tower.
		Wealthy individuals, politicians and developers are prone to making grandiose promises of erecting the world's tallest building, but more often than not, once the numbers are tabulated and the dust settles, the plans get cast aside, or they were never serious in the first place.
		Undoubtedly, the tallest buildings in the world can generate revenue by charging to keep communication equipment on top of the building, or through tourism, but these revenue streams are not always large enough to create massive profits.
