Worlds tallest structure?..

I've decided this "lattice" by THINK is my favorite WTC design, though I never really liked any of the 6 'finalists' much.

However, despite what the newspapers keep saying, none of these proposals will be the world's tallest structure. Those honors go to KTHI-TV in North Dakota whose boroadcast mast reaches 2,063 ft. Nor are either of them the worlds tallest self supporting structure, that honor still goes to the CN tower in Toronto at 1,815 ft. Just so you get the facts straight.

Regarding the warszawa radio mast at constantynow. It stood 646.38m tall before the collapse in 1991. Do anyone have pictures?

that story is a little more complicated than that, that cn tower is by definition the tallest free standing structure on land, there are other offshore structures that are taller, heres the full story:
