That's dangerous, and over the course of time those extra top floors will collaspe. Modern Marvels did an episode about this, If i find the link, i'll post it.
Secondly, the Building tapers. The Triangles meet at the top of the 104- and parapet. Therefore there are no ways to add floors or height.

He obviously meant in the early planning stages, and the building does not have 104 real floors either.

But it's silly to keep talking about how tall it could have been, we got what we got and it's ok, it would have been more ok with a spire and towers 2 and 3 (maybe someday) but still, it is what it is, midtowns developments are much more exciting.
