The Original World Trade Center: Twin Towers No More

The New World Trade Center: A Glittering Rise from the Ashes
But New York is a phoenix, rising from the ashes and all that. A new World Trade Center complex has been built, boasting a stunning new centerpiece: One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower (because, well, freedom). It's the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, all shiny and impressive.
So, how many buildings are there in the new World Trade Center complex? Here's where things get interesting.
