Twin Towers of Liverpool and NYC...

The San_Remo designed by Emery_Roth, who seemed to have a thing for twin towers.
The Beresford opened in 1929 & has three towers. http://www.thecityreview.com/uws/cpw/cpw211.html
The San Remo & The_Eldorado are of a similar design.
The_Normandy was the last apartment with twin towers by Emery Roth. His sons would end up designing a set of twin towers larger than all of their fathers twin projects combined.
Emery_Roth_&_Sons along with Minoru_Yamasaki, designed the tallest twin towers in America.

What's it all about mythology, legends, symbols & language in general?
"Language_and_Human_Nature is the name of a joint literature project that was begun, but never completed, between C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien."
While CSL died on the same day as JFK, JRRT died in the same year that WTC2, the South_Tower was completed. History shows that JRRT died 5 months after the official opening of the WTC complex in April 1973.

JRRT wrote The_Two_Towers several years before the NYC-WTC was ever built. By the early 20th century, NYC was already becoming the technological & entertainment Mecca of the Western World. But unlike the original Mecca, NYC was not yet known for its symbolic twin towers. Now Mecca will have a taller tower than any NYC skyscraper.
To this day, Tolkien's own original cover design for The Two-Towers book provides some interesting symbolism.

It depicts a large black bird soaring from the moon tower to the star tower. Perhaps a symbolic Eastern tower with a crescent moon over it towards the 2nd tower with a Western star over it. So far, there doesn't seem to be any plan to put a star over the New WTC.

The general area of Mecca isn't all on flat terrain & its official elevation is listed as 909 feet, not 911'. However, one can certainly postulate that part of the regions land is certainly at 911 feet or 277.74m above sea level.

The_San_Remo building with its twin towers, were built close to the-dakota.
