Personally, I gotta go with the first one, it's the only one that is truly inspiring to me.
-
I vote for whatever tower is the tallest.
Man, this is America. If you knock down our buildings, we are only going to rebuild them and make them even bigger.
-
The first one would be the tallest building in the world when done.
-
I vote for the first one, since it's the tallest...But the second one and third one look dope as fuck as well...PeACe
