Washington - Details of the downtown Los Angeles skyscraper targeted in a terror plot revealed by President Geroge W Bush:

  • Stands 105m high with 73 floors and has more than 117 000m² of office and retail space.

  • Built by a commercial real estate developer in 1989, it was named Library Tower because of its proximity to the Los Angeles Central Library.

    It was renamed First Interstate Tower but later reverted to its original name when the bank merged with Wells Fargo.

    Renamed US Bank Tower in 2003 after that bank signed a 12-year lease for $53m.

  • Tallest office building in the United States west of the Mississippi River.

  • Designed to withstand a magnitute-8.3 earthquake.

  • Cinematically destroyed by alien invaders in the 1996 movie Independence Day.
