HowHeight editorial judgment
After checking the listed references and public context, HowHeight uses 41,700 cm as the selected comparison value and shows North Tower roof height 417 m as the reference value for context.
The chart uses the taller North Tower roof height. Antenna-inclusive measurements for the North Tower are a different scope and are not used for this chart value.
