Willis tower's measured width and height is 195 ft.
They are identical. (Edit: The twin towers were two buildings: WTC 1 and WTC 2. The World Trade Center was actually a complex of buildings, rather than simply one. I believe there were seven buildings that were a part of the complex, but none of them were quite as prominent as the twin towers. )
The WTC (World Trade Center) was a complex of buildings in lower Manhattan. The original World Trade Center opened on April 4, 1973. The buildings were destroyed on September 11 terrorist attacks of 2001.

There were no bombs in either of the WTC buildings. Thousands of people watched two very large, very heavy airplanes loaded with thousands of gallons of jet fuel fly into the buildings.
The old WTC buildings
Asbestos dust from the three WTC buildings spread over NYC, causing lung disease.
the wtc twin towers each had 110 floors. the wtc marriot hotel was 15 stories. buildings 4,5, and 6 each had 9 floors. and finally building 7 had 47 stories.
the world trade center had 7 buildings all together.1 and 2 wtc were the towers.3 wtc was the marriot hotel wtc 4 and 5 were office buildings 6 wtc was the port athourity and 7 wtc was an office building and also the command center of the wtc in case of terrorist attacks etc.but the 2 towers had many companys who had office floors such as stoke brokers and insurance companys.several parts of the complex also housed banking companys.on the top floors of 1 wtc was the worlds most money earning restaraunt ' windows of the world ' and on top of 2 wtc was the observatories which included cafes ,arcades and information on the buildings and new york.and also a outside observation deck on the roof of 2 wtc.it also had its own shopping center underneath the complex 'the wtc shopping mall' its own train station car parks and its very own power station 15 floors below ground level.if new york had a black out the wtc would still be able to function.it was used for so many things from banking to site seeing.private companys and major companys.it was known as a city within a city.you could jump on a train outside of new york go to the wtc go shooping then to work and have lunch etc without going outside on a wet day in the rain.
While there is a wide range of possible explanations for the collapse of the South Tower (2 WTC) before the North (1 WTC), it is believed that the lower impact of the plane on the tower (a full 15 stories under the same point on 1 WTC) and the passing of shrapnel and parts of the plane through three of four floor beams weakened the structure at an accelerated rate and brought 2 WTC down before its counterpart.
