At 1,250 feet (381 m), the 102-story[B] Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, which was finished in 1931 stood as the tallest building in the world from its completion until 1970, when construction on the 1,368-foot (417 m) North Tower of the original World Trade Center surpassed it.[6] It is the eighth-tallest building in the United States, and rises to a pinnacle of 1,454 feet (443 m)[C] including its antenna.[8] The North Tower (the original One World Trade Center), along with its twin the South Tower (the first Two World Trade Center), which was six feet shorter, held this title only briefly as they were both surpassed by construction on the 110-story[D] Willis Tower (then, and still colloquially, known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago in 1973. The Twin Towers remained the tallest buildings in New York City until they were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks, leaving the Empire State Building again as the city's tallest building.[9][10]
