A look at the tallest buildings in the world

There are many tall buildings in the world but I'm going to take you inside a few of them. For starters lets talk about the Empire State Building. The Empire State Building is located in New York and it was built in 1931. This building stands 1454 feet tall. It took 775 days to complete and 41 million dollars. The Empire State Building is well known for its attractions and courteous employees. For example, when you walk up to the front deist in the main lobby you can expect the person to smile and say welcome to the ESB, how may I help you. They try to make sure your visit is the very best one it can be. You can choose to stand in line and wait for a ticket but many agree that takes to much time. The best Way is to get the speed pass, that bumps you ahead to the front of each line; that way you can enjoy more attractions. If you go to the 86th floor you can enjoy the 86th floor Observatory. It has high powered binoculars available on the promenades on all for sides of the building at minimal cost for best views. You can also enjoy restaurants, banking, and more. For instance,if you are hungry you can enjoy meals at Chipotle, Europa Cafe`, Rosa's Pizza ,and Uncle Louies G's icecream all located between West 34th st. and West 33rd st. They have shopping for the ladies as well as kids at Strawberry fashions. Men they have something for you too, The Mens Warehouse for all your shopping needs. Just think you get to have an adventuring day at a low cost.

The next building I'm going to talk about is the Menara Telecom Tower. It is located in Kuala Lumpur and it was built in 1996. The MTT is perched atop a 3 level basement. Once inside you can enjoy a mall featuring outlet shops , a mini theater, an outdoor amphitheater, fast food, and a prayer room just incase anyone want to pray for a while. Every year this building gets over 1 million visitors to hang out on the observation deck. The staff keeps busy.

The next building will always be remembered by all and that building is the World Trade Center.The WTC was built in 1973 and located in New York. The one WTC featured Windows on the World, an elegant restaurant with a marvelous view of the city. The second tower featured two observation decks, Each tower had 104 passenger elevators. The WTC was built to withstand heavy wind loads and settlement loads but nothing prepared the building for the attack. On September 11, 2001 The WTC was unable to survive the direct hit by two hijacked commercial jetliners during a terrorist
