How Alabama compares

Alabama would never beat the country's biggest cities in the battle of the skyscrapers. New York's One World Trade Center, completed in 2014, would be difficult to challenge: It has 104 floors and is 1,776 feet high. In second place is Willis Tower in Chicago, built in 1974, which has 108 floors but is a mere 1,451 feet high.

The tallest in the world, by the way, is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, at a whopping 2,722 feet high.
