The last two sections of the 408-foot spire on One World Trade Center have been installed on the structure, bringing it to its full height of 1,776 feet. That makes it the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere, and once it's finished, it will be the third tallest building in the world. See how it stacks up against other tall buildings.
