Willis TowerLargest building in North America
The Willis (Sears) Tower stands 110-stories high at 1,450 ft. On top of the main building stand two antennas. The East Antenna is 253' tall and the West Antenna is 283' tall for a total 1,729 feet from base of building to tip of antenna. Those antennas were placed there to negate the sway of the building from high winds and lightning storms that continually visit the windy city of Chicago. The base of the antennas measure 12' diameter.
NOTE: A football field is 300 ft.—this building would be as tall as 6 football fields.

Your values influence your needs and goals; the decisions you make affect your goals; spending money on your wants may limit meeting your needs; and all of this is your personal financial responsibility.”
