• Last pieces of 1 World Trade Center rising to make skyscraper tallest in Western Hemisphere
• NEW YORK (AP) -- One World Trade Center already is New York's tallest building.
• And when the last pieces of its spire rise to the roof -- weather permitting -- the 104-floor skyscraper that replaces the fallen twin towers will be just feet from becoming the highest in the Western Hemisphere.
• The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the spire pieces plus a steel beacon will then be lifted at a later date from the rooftop to cap the building at 1,776 feet.
• Installation of the 800-ton, 408-foot spire began in December, after 18 pieces were shipped from Canada and New Jersey.
• The spire will serve as a world-class broadcast antenna.
