Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Each tower had 104 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre of rentable space on each floor. From the observation deck on Two World Trade Center it was possible to see 45 miles in every direction. Each tower swayed approximately three feet from true center in strong wind storms. If all the glass used in the construction of both towers were melted into a ribbon of glass, 20 inches wide, it would have run 65 miles long.
