The Sears Tower is a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, and the tallest building in the United States. Commissioned by Sears, Roebuck and Company, it was designed by chief architect Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Khan of Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.
Construction commenced in August 1970 and the building reached its originally anticipated maximum height on May 3, 1973. When completed, the Sears Tower had overtaken the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City as the world's tallest building. The tower has 108 stories (the building owners claim 110, but this includes the main roof and the roof of the elevator penthouse). The distance to the upper roof is 1,450 feet, 7 inches (442 m), measured from the east entrance.

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur are #1.
The Sears Tower is #2 and the WTC was #3.
It's a much more massive structure than the WTC, so if you're planning to bring it down with a plane you're going to need at least two 767s.

The World Trace Center towers were the biggest buildings in the world until the building in Malaysia was built. The WTC towers were taller than the Sears tower.

The Sears tower is taller than the now-extinct twin towers. But many proposals for rebuilding Ground Zero entail building a tower that's taller than the Sears tower.
