Actually, the Sears Tower (now the Willis Tower) was built after the World Trade Center and is taller than the Twin Towers were. The new 1 WTC, however, is taller still and claims the title of tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

Let me slip into a 19th century mindset for a bit. The towers should have been replaced by the tallest two buildings in the world, at any price, at record speed, even if it required the effort of the Army Corps of Engineers.
