50 tallest buildings in the U.S.
The United States is home to many of the world's tallest skyscrapers. Here is a list of the U.S.'s 50 tallest based on their official height.
Before the September 11 terrorist attacks, the twin towers of the World Trade Center occupied the number 2 position (or 2 and 3 if one chooses to count them separately).
