had to check to see if I still had it, here you go:

This is from their original site page on the WTC....should anyone be
interested.



The complex is situated on a 16-acre site and consists of seven buildings
with 12 million square feet. All are constructed around the five-acre Austin
J. Tobin Plaza and have entrances to the Plaza and the surrounding city
streets. The World Trade Center is connected by a land bridge to the World
Financial Center complex located to its west and is close to the New York
and American Stock Exchanges.

FASCINATING FACTS
More than 1.2 million cubic yards of earth and rock were excavated to make
way for the World Trade Center. The excavated material was placed in the
Hudson River to create 23.5 acres of new land deeded to the City of New
York. This landfill area is now Battery Park City.

More than 200,000 tons of steel, far more than the amount required for the
construction of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, was used in the World Trade
Center's construction.

The 425,000 cubic yards of concrete used in building the World Trade Center
is enough to build a five-foot wide sidewalk from New York City to
Washington, D.C.

At peak periods of construction, some 3,500 workers were on the site daily.

There are 43,600 windows in the Twin Towers with over 600,000 square feet of
glass window area cleaned by automatic window washing machines traveling on
stainless steel tracks.

With 60,000 tons of cooling capacity, the World Trade Center's refrigeration
plant is the largest in the world.

The 360-foot television mast atop One World Trade Center supports 10 main
television antennas, numerous auxiliary antennas and a master FM antenna.
Transmissions from the mast began in June, 1980. Ten television stations in
the metropolitan area, including all the major networks, broadcast from the
mast. In addition, six stations broadcast high-definition, digital
television from the World Trade Center.

The Tower's skylobby elevator systems separate express from local runs.
There are 239 elevators and 71 escalators in the four buildings operated by
the Port Authority at the complex. The sky lobby express elevators are
capable of carrying 55 people, a 10,000 pound capacity. Express elevators
can travel at speeds of up to 27 feet per second.
