...World Trade Center Second to collapse Completed: 1970 Height: 110 floors Floor Sizes: (9-105) 45,000-50,000 sq. ft. Elevators: 97 passenger, 6 freight...
That's not so ludicrous as it sounds. The 1.5 million-sq.-ft. building incorporates state-of-the-art airport-design features, such as the 144 check-in counters that can be used by any airline, and a video display system that encourages incoming passengers to keep moving briskly along corridors to the huge customs-and-immigration area, where funky, massive bas-relief scenes of New York greet them. The airport is counting on federal agencies to increase staff at peak times; the building's public areas are designed to handle as many as 3,200 arriving passengers an hour...
...terminal even has its own Main Street: 100,000 sq. ft. of shops and restaurants lined by steel lights that echo the Statue of Liberty. Small tables dot the area and make it feel more like an Italian piazza than a sterile airport food court.

The scrub was difficult, involving 25-plus parcels of land with virtually no records on possible contaminants. To complicate matters, 40% of downtown Dallas' electricity and all its natural-gas lines ran through the property. No one knew that 10 acres of incinerated junk--the charred remains of everything from hospital bedpans to whiskey bottles--lay buried beneath the surface...
