The Original World Trade Center consisted of 7 buildings, two massive famous 110 story twin towers that were named tower 1 and tower 2, while the third Trade Center was a 22 story hotel between the towers that were operated by Marriot, buildings 4, 5 and 6 were all low rise buildings built around the plaza, while  building 7, a 50 story building was constructed in the 80s, was the last building built.

They were all destroyed in the space of a few hours on the day of 11th September 2001.

This is an attempt of re-construction to the most accurate scale going with Minecraft physics, so some things may be out of place, but I think its possibly the closest You'll ever get in MC to the orignal World Trade Center.

Construction is currently focused on Tower 1, with the lobby interior and exterior completed, construction is expected to get to the 55th floor by June of this year, where the tower will hit the height limit of MC, and ' top out ' as it seems.

On hold, but not for the reason You think. : by fisplen 03/20/2014 6:58:30 pmMar 20th, 2014

Unfortunately, for some reason trying to now run this map turns into an absoultue lag fest, it is near impractical for me to even attempt to try and build this now, I think it may be something to do with the vast amount of lighting required for this humongus building,  so until I get a better computer I'm afraid I, sadly can not continue this, for now.

Why not just make a new super flat world and only allow one layer of grass to be the floor? Also without any bedrock. Then just WE the buildings in :3

I'm sure that won't be enough to create the building to it's full 1:1 scale, but it's a start.

Yes , that would work for most buildings , but remember the height limit in Minecraft is 256 , some buildings in Manhattan go over 256 Meters ( The Empire State Building for example ) I did this on flatland as well.

this is pretty good. a diamond to you.

and by the way, you could just have the buildings as tall as the height limit, like my wtc towers im building. it would still be to scale, but only in length and width.

Nah , it's not just the height limit that got me , if finished it would be a bit taller then it was in RL , and it's in slightly the wrong position to what it was in RL.

This probably won't ever get finished , but good luck to Your project!

Thanks man , since I've figured out a way to get past the height limit , I may be resuming contraction once again...

But it has a little design error , it's not exactly how the old one was , but I figured its close enough.
