Were Any Towers Taller Than the World Trade Center?

When the World Trade Center towers were completed in 1973, they stood as the tallest buildings in the world. They held that distinction until their destruction on September 11, 2001. During that period, no other towers surpassed their height of 1,368 feet (417 meters) for the North Tower and 1,362 feet (415 meters) for the South Tower. Therefore, at the time of their collapse, there were no towers taller than the World Trade Center.
