New York unveils redesigned Freedom Tower - U.S. News - MSNBC.com: "NEW YORK - The newest plan for the Freedom Tower at the former World Trade Center site features a more bomb-resistant design pushed well away from the street and incorporating heavily protected elevators and utilities.
The details are part of a redesign detailed Wednesday for the soaring skyscraper in lower Manhattan, a project that has been delayed by bureaucratic squabbling.
The new design for the 1,776-foot tower is meant to make it more resistant to truck bombs. The building will now be 90 feet � instead of 25 feet � from West Street, the major north-south thoroughfare along the Hudson River."
