These incredible pictures show how Dutch architecture firm MVRDV somehow managed to design the eerie 260-metre and 300-metre towers next to each other, connected by a ‘pixelated cloud’.
And in a good contender for quote of the year, a company statement insists they did not ‘see the resemblance during the design process’ for the buildings - due to be completed in Seoul in 2015.

The burned mobile phones of 9/11 victims are going on display in a exhibition to mark the tenth anniversary.
The devices which were still heard ringing as desperate family members tried to contact loved ones trapped in the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center are a haunting memento of the 2001 attack. Rescue workers could also hear the phones ringing while they delved for bodies.

The deeply personal exhibit also shows the wallet of Ruth McCourt, who was with her four-year-old daughter Juliana on the second plane to hit the towers. They were visiting Disneyland. A picture of the pair together on the beach is also seen. The museum's Susan Bennett added: "A lot of family members want to make sure there are public displays because they don't want people to forget what they lost that day."

The World Trade Center site, also known as "Ground Zero" after the September 11 attacks, sits on 16 acres in Lower Manhattan in New York City. The World Trade Center complex stood on the site until it was destroyed in the attacks; Studio Daniel Libeskind, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Silverstein Properties, and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation oversee the reconstruction of the site. The site is bounded by Vesey Street to the north, the West Side Highway to the west, Liberty Street to the south, and Church Street to the east. The Port Authority owns the site's land. Developer Larry Silverstein holds the lease to retail and office space in four of the site's buildings.
