I had explained this previously, about the last week in September. (Don't know if the post is still available.) Some months before that, Donald Trump was investigating adding 60 more stories on the Sears Tower in Chicago to be taller than the two "world's tallest" towers recently completed in Kuala Lampur, Indonesia. By adding 60 stories, he would have reduced office space in the Sears Tower. Once a building starts to exceed 50 or 70 stories, then total square footage decreases with each new story.
Having understood this generations ago, then why would anyone want a 100+ story building? These were the type of questions effectively asked by the movie Towering Inferno.
