The tower is the same even though its surroundings have changed so much http://www.japansugoi.com/wordpress/tokyo-tower-then-and-now/ I like the old Tokyo Tower, it is such a wonderful landmark.

Anyway, speaking of it, I think that an act of terrorism will not be able to bring down the whole tower, so does for a blaze (if there's good design). What really worries me now is that Japan sits on the intersection point of many moving (and subducting) tectonic plates, making the country more prone to earthquakes than any other countries. A huge structure like that will add unnecessary stress onto the fault lines, and like China's Three Gorges Dam, may cause new fault lines to appear due to the mass of the tower. But one optimistic news is that scientists are not developing high strength carbon nanotubes that has a strength hundreds of times stronger than the strongest steel we can manufacture today and yet many times lighter. This makes it a good construction material, but for technical reasons, will not be feasible for mass manufacturing in the near future.

That would almost be impposible unless there were explosions on each individual level. It would have to have some kind of system (not just sprinklers) to better put out a fire before it happens. The terroist thing is chance, im not saying that it can't happen but it is the same volunable than the twin towers. yeah it would be easier to hit because of the size but same difference. It would stop land construction from growing to forests that are left. it could even make space that was covered in concrete back to grenery. It seems very efficent and is a wonderful and futuristic way to reduce over population on land and help to stay green.
