While the Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1972 to 1974, the World Trade Center centerpieces were not the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their destruction. They were also the tallest buildings in the United States until the Willis Towers (then Sears Tower) in Chicago was completed.
