Fun Fact: The building at number one is called "Freedom Tower" because it's 1776 ft tall and 1776 was the year that America got it's freedom.

[@BPierce3029]

Wow you seem to show up everywhere

[@elidaze5868]

Well, it's called One World Trade Center officially, Freedom Tower was the name that people were giving it prior to its completion and I know many people still call it that to this day and think its a better name (can't argue there, since it has more of an impact and matches its architectural height, the structure as a whole all the way to the tip is actually taller though) but that's not it's actual name. Also 1776 was the year we declared our freedom through the Declaration of Independence, the revolutionary war continued until 1783 when the Treaty of Paris officially ended the war and granted us our freedom from Great Britain (although the Siege of Yorktown in 1781 marked the final engagement of the war on American soil).That being said, it's true we basically were doing our own thing from 1776 onward (even before then technically) which is why that year is so significant to America and its fight for freedom from Great Britain. Just some extra information to elaborate on your comment and perhaps help clarify things for non-Americans (or even some Americans) who are curious about the historic background and significance of the building's unofficial name and architectural height of 1776 ft.

[@UTbrother]

@@elidaze5868 iirc, it's 1476 feet to the top floor, which matches the height of the twin towers. The spire/antenna is 300 feet, to bring the total to 1776, obviously to reference the year of our Declaration of Independence.

He is working on getting a greenscreen right now, but I really don't think that's necessary. If he trims the extra space on his camera and makes the video he is reacting to smaller, it'll work fine. Conversely, he can fill the screen with his face and put the video in the corner. I think he should also do some light editing to trim out moments of him adjusting the camera, blowing his nose, etc. His thumbnails also have an issue in which whenever he uses red text, it is incredibly hard to read. Changing the text to white or simply adding a white background to the text would solve this. Overall, just a few easy fixes will greatly improve the quality of his videos. He doesn't need to buy any new technology. He just needs to learn the software better and practice a few things off-camera...

[@eisamiller88]

It was right down the block from it actually at the original AT&T building built back in the early 1920s (the tallest red brick building you can see in the image). It was built in a way that was supposed to be bomb proof, but unfortunately, the bomb did quite a bit of damage not only to that building but also destroyed several 1800s era buildings across the street. After the modern AT&T building, what we locals call the Batman building, was built, the original building was repurposed to house servers and other equipment that controls the wi-fi/cell service for several states in this region as well as the continued hosting of the remaining landlines. I was deeply saddened by the bombing. Not only are the buildings that were destroyed one of my favorite areas of the city, but my grannie worked in the old AT&T building as a switchboard operator back during WWII. It was still called Bellsouth back then, but AT&T acquired all Bellsouth properties in the early 2000s. She used to tell us stories about working there. It was such a different time. Separate elevators for men and women and NAP rooms for the ladies who weren't feeling well due to their time of the month. There was also a flood that happened that trapped her in the building overnight once until the waters receded the next day so the nap room came in very handy for the unintended on the job sleepover.

The Willis Tower in Chicago was the tallest building in the world when it was finished in 1974, though it was called the Sears Tower in those days. The previous record holders were the twin towers of the World Trade Center, which had been finished in 1972.

[@kingunited99]

[@chrino21]

I think the general rule, however unfair, is that if the building has a “decorative spire” as part of its “design” it counts in the height. If it has functional towers on top (broadcast antennae, etc.) they do not count in the height. This makes the Willis or Sears Tower in Chicago technically shorter than the Freedom Tower in NY, even though its roof is 100 feet higher. Same thing with LA’s Wilshire Grand Center and U.S. Bank Tower.

[@ordinarynocturne]

This. Some places can't go higher because the ground can't support it. Maybe it's too loosely packed or marshy or sandy. Buildings that are too large would collapse.

[@waycoolscootaloo]

If the London Shard were placed in Chicago, it would be the 6th tallest building in the city. Sometimes spires are counted and sometimes there not. The Sears Tower (Willis Tower) in Chicago is actually taller than the One World Trade Center when it comes to roof top height and highest floor. The Sears Tower also has the highest observatory of any building in the US. But One World Trade Center is considered taller because of it's antenna. The Sears Tower antennas are not counted. The One World Trade Center antena hasa cladding on the side of the antena that makes it somewhat of a spire which counts. The Sears Tower antennas don't have this decorative cladding. So they don't count because of this decorative material. But to the average person the Sears Tower is taller, because it's taller and bigger in most any other way the two buildings can be measured. The Sears Tower can get you up higher than the One World Trade can. And it's much bigger in terms of sq.ft, as well. Plus it has a higher roof top than One World Trade Center.

[@UncleAl3]

Hey brother! I live here in the US, and I know you’d like to travel here eventually, when everything clears up.

This will save you a lot of money and give you the chance to spend your time exploring and visiting wherever you wish. You can even come out to Southern California to visit me if you want and I’ll show you the best beaches in the world and much more. I also have a big ranch out here with over 60 Buffalo and some sheep, horses and chicken, in case you’re interested in checking that out 😂 but either way, most likely I have a rental property where you would like to Travel to. So let me know if you’re interested, and how I can contact you privately. I would love to help you out and make it much more affordable to come over to the US!

Nashville is majorly growing . In the next 3 year we should have 4 more visible skyscrapers the two Amazon towers which will be regional headquarters, a residential/mixed use building by the arena and another office building . Then there be two more built outer that view which will be mixed use .

AT&T is a telecom company, so they do phones, internet, and TV. I've seen the building in Nashville in person, it seriously loomed! Apparently it's nicknamed the Batman Building because of its appearance. 😁 I'd love it if you would do videos on the UK and give us your own thoughts on things. For example, maybe a video on the counties of England? You could tell us if you've been there and what it was like. Or how about one on English accents? I love how many different accents there are in the UK. It may be a lot smaller than the US, but I swear it has twice the number of accents as the States, if not even more. Oh, or how about videos of non-Brits attempting British accents? Tell us how well you think they did. 😁
