Freedom Tower redesign published
The details are part of a redesign set out yesterday for the soaring skyscraper in lower Manhattan, a project that has been delayed by bureaucratic squabbling.
The new design for the 1,776-foot tower is meant to make it more resistant to truck bombs. The building will now be 90 feet - instead of 25 feet - from West Street, the major north-south thoroughfare along the Hudson River.
