Ninety floors... and counting: The breathtaking views from One World Trade Center (and there's still 14 storeys to go)

By Louise Boyle

(Mail Online) When it is completed, it will be the tallest building in Manhattan and one of incredible poignancy for New York City.

One World Trade Center reached its 90th floor this week - with just 14 more floors to go until the top. The structure can now be seen from all five boroughs of the city.

Stunning pictures showed how the area has been reborn since the 9/11 attacks more than a decade ago where almost 3,000 people lost their lives in the worst ever terrorist attack on American soil.
