The
South Tower (also known as
Tower 2,
Building Two or
2 WTC) was one of the original Twin Towers in the original
World Trade Center in
New York City, New York. The Tower was completed and opened in 1973 at a height of 415 meters (1,362 ft) to the roof, distinguishable from its twin, the
North Tower by its outdoor observation deck and the absence of a television antenna. Both the South Tower, and the
North Tower had mechanical floors, and the same type of walls. The new
2 World Trade Center (currently under construction), has the same flat roof, with no observation deck, and no mechanical floors.
