The Sears Tower is a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, and the tallest building in the United States, by the measurement from the ground to its roof. By the measurement to the top of the antenna/spire, One World Trade Center passed it by 58 cm (1.9 ft) until only days before it was destroyed on September 11th, 2001, a short extension being installed on one of Sears’ antennas in early September of that year.
