Great photos! So the reason why the North Tower's lobby on concourse level never had a direct connection to 6 WTC''s lobby on concourse level (despite the fact that the North Tower's lobby on concourse level had a direct connection to the hotel's lobby on concourse level) was because most of the first floor of 6 WTC (the concourse level) was used for storage, and there couldn't be a direct connection to the North Tower's lobby because of it?
I believe it was an issue throughout their lifetime. I read somewhere that a building across the street even tried to sue the complex for wind damage.
Had the original WTC been rebuilt after 9/11, could there have been a way to solve this problem regarding the Twin Towers and the Venturi effect winds? As far as I know, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur never had that issue.

holy smokes! thats amazing.
Here's a detailed map pf 6 WTC's lobby on concourse level:
That's probably because both 4 and 5 WTC were 118 feet tall, while 6 WTC was 105 feet tall. 6 WTC was the shortest building of the complex.
I still dont get it.
You didn't think the stairs connected to the towers made them look goofy? The stairs were there because of the elevated plaza design.
No one thinks that the plaza being elevated from the street and the stairs connected to each side of the towers made the towers look goofy?
