Why do you say that. It isn't even taller, then the tallest buildings around it. And none of them are over 800 feet tall.

You dont understand me :ohno: i mean something like anti aircraft system you know? When a plane come closer it will automatically shoot down the palne to defend the building, defense system and radar will be somewhere on the top floor i guess :)

You must be crazy, the building itself will be strong enough to withstand a plane crash. Its not like the old world trade center.

NO

Ye maybe they will have a guy on the top floor ,preferably with an rpg or a turret gun constantly on guard waiting for any incoming flying objects. What a job that would be hey.

Is there any air defense system for this tall building? I am just curious

Yes. The spire is actually a missile, and if any aircraft comes within 15000 ft of the building, the spire will detatch from the antenna and shoot the plane. If it happens to miss, the spires individual sections seperate and expand throughout the radius. After 20 seconds (IIRC, it mightve been 15), the pieces explode, creating a fireworks display for all of NY and destroying the plane.

While this is happening, since everyone is being distracted by the plane/explosions, the second spire hidden in the upper floors of the building will rise upward and replace the original spire, therefore making it appear as if nothing on the building had changed :)

I got the good on what's really going on. They have genetically engineered Super Gorilla. And he'll smash any plane that comes near this. But keep that between me and you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...stop it

You know there is a giant "LASER" on the moon (death star) that can shoot down any plane heading towards the building> We call it the Alan Parsons Project.

I knew it!

I have never seen this building before and I live in NY, I haven't even seen ground zero. I haven't been in that area since like 1999/2000. I live less than 20 miles away too smh.

I want to be able to see this out the window just like the original WTC, I don't even remember how big they looked from this far. So far I can't see this thing for nothing and it's so tall.

I love this building and all the progress that's being made, I wanna see it one day when it warms up.

so current height 203m? lev56?

It's a little taller then that.

Clint Eastwood will be standing up there with his 44. But he won't actually have to use it, he'll just sneer at anything that comes near.

It's a little taller then that.

The cold weather is slowing down everything, they are still on 56th floor, still on the corner nodes.
I repeat, current height is 666ft 8in (203.2meters)
I was wrong with my last post, according to Zen, the height is not 666 ft exact, there are 8 inches I didn't include.

Clint Eastwood's as old as the Empire State Building, he can hardly move lol

You guys must be lying. There is no such thing as the spire is a missile. Seriously, I read on Wikipedia and there is no such thing. And if this is true, why would they want to do something very non-sense. They could have done it 9 years ago. Yes, I always dream of some missile or a force field to protect 1WTC, then came this. You guys must be joking. No such missile is found or anything secret of this building. When did you make this story and is there proof of it or are you making so that New York would feel very relieved.

That stuff on top of ESB spire doesn't count. It was add years later. So the height is still 1,250 feet. They should bring down the old spire and replace it with a new one. Jk

Ever seen King Kong, he stands on the spire. The spire isn't thin like most spires. So most people assume the antenna the spire but it isn't.

You know, this is actually the best explanation I've seen for the shape of the "spire". Now it all makes sense.


And for all of you lacking of a sense of humor "stay on topic" types....OMG its really getting tall. It must be 204.7586374987399927433 meters by now.

So what kind of evacuation systems does this thing have? I was thinking the other day that a long corkscrew slide or a series of corkscrew slides would be cool and a quick way of getting people down. That or a pool of jello surrounding the base :)

You guys are brutal. The kid that asked the question was probably 14, without even a cursory knowledge of engineering. Cut him some slack. Man, like nihilism our here.

no there is nothing. Airplanes pass close by all the time due to proximity of 3 major airports. It is about 1 minute of flight from Newark international to this place so even with the best air defenses in the world nothing can identify and hit the plane in such short notice - a mere split second decision conditions.

Apparently TowersNYC can :)

the building in LIC that he showed isn't nearly as expensive as a penthouse in a building of that height in new york city. Nice view though, destroy those taller buildings there and you'll have perfect view of lower manhattan. Is it possible to see the midtown skyline from there?

On topic : I can see that construction is going very slowly now. I walk by the at&t building on 6th ave everyday and i get a view of the cranes and a little bit of the actual building. And I went from no view to this view in just 3 short months. Nothing seems to be changing. I hope they're gonna be able to full speed during spring.

I hate to be a dick but. Long Island City Queens is apart of New York City. And it's a condo with a view of Manhattan.

Is on the other side of Manhattan.

Ok I've already said what building those were. It's Stuyvesant house and they're not projects and NYC is dangerous this isn't the late 80's.

I respectfully disagree. I think the new WTC will be amazing. They look amazing and will be much safer.

And how can you not think the new towers are massive?

We have 1WTC being the same height to the roof and a bit taller to the top as O1WTC. We have N2WTC being a mere 12 ft shorter then O2WTC. Then we have an ESB right next to them. And then we have an almost supertall right next to that. Thats pretty darn massive.

As someone pointed out a while ago, a single one of these towers would completely change Lower Manhattan. And we get all 4 going up (more or less) at the same time.

The new WTC will be just as good and even better then the old :)

I disagree. The original will always look better

I disagree with you :)

I love the twins, I have so much respect and admiration for them, and I will forever miss them, but at the end of the day, the twins were just (and I really dont want to use that word) two really big boxes :)

Apparently TowersNYC can :)
Lucky ;)

Hi all.

burj dubai

Top floor 638.0 m

Spire 828.0 m

Highest occupied floor 584.0 m

Concrete structure 601.0 m

Spire 190 m

Highest occupied floor is at 584 m (excluding technical space)


Shanghai tower looks quite massive! But with 196 meters lower!

A Matter of Taste

For me, WTC 1 is 417 meters high real..:)

Hi illegal.

Just so you know ... - most of those numbers for the BK aren't even close.

Back OT.

It's great to see this site coming together after all these years. It will look awesome when completed.

Hello Everybody:

I just showed my father this thread last night and he was amazed at all the renderings, pictures, and updates on Tower 1v2. He actually cryed cause him and his dad helped build the twins and My dads last job in his 39 year construction career was at Tower 1v2. So he told me to tell all of you how Thankful and Proud of all of you who take your time out of your lives and do such a great job with these amazing updates. Thank you so much Everybody. :)

Good idea I spose, those bands who want to use the entire capacity can have an end setup were as those who want a smaller one can use the side one without the seats infront of the stage being miles away.

To add to what kingdomca said I'd guess that its not a case of those luxury seats replacing ones normal fans would have got. Once you get that large the actual cost per seat starts to increase so if you'd probabley have ended up with an 80,000 seat(like most of the other proposals I'v seen) stadium with 5,000 or so luxury seats. I notice the lease seating doesnt include the playoff's(just first refusal on the seat) so the championship/div 1 playoff(the most important domestic game of the season IMHO) could end up having the best atmosphere of any game once again if some of the bigger clubs are involved.

I'd guess the FA are less likely to run into trouble than a club would be aswell kingdomca. Unless they've been hopelessly over optimistic with attendances theres not nearly as much risk since unlike a club which could face religation or failiure to qualify for the champs league its garenteed the same set of games every year.

What are you smoking, dude?

Conde Nast's WTC lease down to 'last drafts'
Signing could come as soon as late this month says Douglas Durst; if it and other pending deals are signed, the 1,776-foot tower would be 85% leased.

By Theresa Agovino

The deal for Conde Nast to lease 1 million square feet at One World Trade Center could be signed as early as this month but is more likely to be inked in March, says Douglas Durst, chairman of the Durst Organization, which has an agreement to buy a $100 million stake in the tower at Ground Zero.
“Things are going well,” Mr. Durst said . “”We are getting down to the last drafts of the lease.”

In the meantime, Mr. Durst is heading to China next week to prospect at an economic conference for tenants. So far, the only tenant who has signed a lease for space in the 2.6 million-square-foot tower is China-based Vantone Industrial Co., which is sponsoring the conference that Mr. Durst will be attending. Mr. Durst said Vantone executives told him that among the attendees would be firms interested in leasing space in the tower.
”This is the type of tall tower that will generate interest for Chinese companies,” Mr. Durst said. “It is the kind of building that stands out. It makes a statement.”

Typically, building owners don't make special trips overseas to market their properties. However, there has been international interest in the building for several reasons. At 1,776 feet, One World Trade Center is going to be the city's tallest tower, and it is a symbol of the city's resilience in the aftermath of the September 2001 terror attacks. In addition, the tower is expected to earn a gold Leed rating from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Last year, Tara Stacom, Cushman & Wakefield Inc. vice chairman, and Christopher Ward, the head of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, went to Europe to meet prospective tenants. The trip hasn't yielded a tenant, but Ms. Stacom said she is in contact with people she met, and she plans to go back later this year.

“It is an address that is known around the globe,” said Ms. Stacom, who leads the building's leasing team. “International companies are clamoring for information.”

Ms. Stacom said when she heads back overseas, she hopes to have more marketing materials to show than she took the first time. She notes the building still doesn't have an official logo or promotional materials, yet.
Even without materials, the effort has been going very well. Aside from the Conde Nast deal, the Port, which owns the building, and the Dursts are negotiating with two government agencies to take a total of 1 million square feet. If all the deals are signed, the building will be 85% leased.

The deal between the Port and the Dursts should close in the next two months.

Conde Nast's broker, CB Richard Ellis Inc. chief executive officer for the New York Tri-State region Mary Ann Tighe, declined comment.

Cladding's looking seriously awesome. This is gonna be a classic!

You know, I've spent years periodically googling this building and finding (obviously) nothing satisfying. I discovered this site, I think right about when the cladding appeared, and I've been visiting daily since. I love it. I think I actually enjoy the design of tower 3 more, but this tower is obviously "the one", so I've been very interested. I've enjoyed all the WTC threads. This has been a great find.

Thanks for all the pics and data. I don't think there's anywhere else I could've found so much.

Can a mod or admin please fix some of the tags for this thread?

Yeah what's going on with those tags.

This thing is rising fast! It seems like as soon as the bottom part was done, the growth just skyrocketed. Compare June of last year to now, a few months later.

i don't exactly understand of the purporse corner crane

One quick question. Do they work on the tower on sunday? cause i see the cranes moving.

Are there not enough Porta-potties around that construction site? lol

^^ With such a perfect location that you have it's almost an obligation to make a nice timelapse video by taking a picture every day or week ;)

your terrace is epic, but your cake is a lie

I hope this will give the same affect like the old world trade center. Those were the definition of massive, you could see them anywhere below midtown. I hope these will be the same.

Sorry, had a quick look through the thread but can't find any postings of current height..
Anyone be kind enought to provide? Looks like around the 200m mark??

Thanks.

^^^It's over 660 feet tall

I will give you the height in Floors, Feet, Meters and in Percentage of Completion in Height.

They are up to the 56th floor right now. The Tower is 666 Feet and 8 inches tall. The Tower in Meters is 203.1. In Terms of percentage from Street level to Roof its about 49.6 percent there in terms of Meterage and Footage. Well I hope I helped you out there. :)

Actually it is visible allready, looking at the photo look at the right of Tower 7 and you can actually see the North east section of the 53rd through the 56th floor of Tower 1. Its a small section of it from your distance but you can still see it.

The World Trade Center, 1976

WFC really set it off.

I know I've heard there's absolutely no intentions, but just as a question:

The 1WTC is build exactly on the place of the old WTC with the spire? Or is it placed differently, and exactly where face to the old towers. If anyone can, just draw a red 1WTC on TowersNYC pic from 1976.
I'm still can't get over the fact they ain't building twins :(.

Yeah, I'll read 982 pages and come to New York to get my New WTC Bachelor from you ( cake if successful? :lol: ). The problem is I haven't been to NY for over 10 years now ( after living there ) so I'm quite uncommon with what's new, I remember New Yorkers more helpful than "dude wtf' :tongue3:

If you look at the picture of the New WTC. You see it right next to the verizon building. The old picture shows there's another building between tower 1 and the verizon.

ok, The new Tower 1 is being built on top of where the old Tower 6 WTC was. But The Original Tower 1 AKA North Tower Was right where the Completed Memorial Pool is at now, the Pool Closest to the new Tower 1 World Trade Center. I hope I was of some Assiatance :)

From WTCprogress.com
http://www.panynj.gov/wtcprogress/img/site_plan_north.jpg

One World Trade Center is located north of Fulton Street, north from where the original towers were built. The exact same place was ocupied by the former 6 World Trade Center.

The area where the original twins where standing is going to be a memorial. Two waterfalls are now located in the exact footprints of the twins. For more information, go to wtc.com, wtcprogress.com, or visit the respective threads here at Skyscrapercity by searching them.

because your question is stupid....

see it now? waterfall = old WTC 1

If I was a New Yorker ( or at least living in America and so, the new WTC would have been daily news for me ), maybe. But you might consider there is a world beyond these borders :ohno:.
A simple "the old WTC 6" would have done it.

@Dominance and kingsc: Thanks for the answer, I was wondering actually if the actual project left a chance for a twin of the new tower, as TowersNY shows, there is a waterfall where the old north tower was, and probably a similar where the south tower used to be.
So practically where the plaza was in the old days, theres space for a south tower? I'm saying this because I'm sure a lot of New Yorkers would have embraced 2 new Twin Towers but since there were a lot of totally different positions regarding the new project, this one was chosen to fit everybody, including the relatives of the victims from 9/11.

LE:@Otie: OK, that photo clears it out, my impression was that where the plaza used to be, it was free of constructions but I imagined waterfall from 1WTC a bit more on the left, leaving more free space between it and Greenwich St.

Even if the north pool was located more to the left, there wouldn't be enough space to build a twin of the 1WTC, underground, the space is going to be occupied by the Transportation Hub and a little by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.

Well to answer your question about have a new twin on the current Tower 1 is up until now, will not happen. I mean the Port Authority and Larry Silverstein already has so much money and work laid down on the site that it would cost them so much to deconstruct on what they have now built. But as you would see on Ottie"s picture of the whole site you will have 1 WTC , Then to its east you would have a Perfroming Arts Center Then east of that you would have The New Tower 2 WTC which they are putting up the first verticle colomns, then south of that you would have the Trans Hub, south of that Tower 3 WTC and south of that Tower 4 WTC. Then as you see in that same Pic you would have the WTC Memorial with the 2 waterfalls where the Twins once stood, and in between them you would have the Memorial Building .


Well I hope that answered all of you questions, and I was Glad to help you out :)

I love this thread with all the information & pics in all the 980+ pages though I've never been to NYC. Just one thing, I noticed that some forummers get slammed for saying the wrong thing or for not being 'intelligent' enough to stay on topic etc. It seems to be a trend here not seen in other forums. Maybe it is a mood & sensitivity thing especially if we're discussing about the site of the Twin Towers. But I think some old timers here should chill out a bit. Other than this, a great thread!

Are you calling me old! Those renders are nice. Hmmm am I suppose to see the reflection of 1WTC spire in the Glass of 1WTC. And I know it's the reflection from the other building.

Toilets flush yet on tower one? Or better asked, does the building have running water yet?

You know, I've spent years periodically googling this building and finding (obviously) nothing satisfying. I discovered this site, I think right about when the cladding appeared, and I've been visiting daily since. I love it.

This looks so real! And if I am correct, I think you can see 3 WTC's reflection in the tip of the closest side of the building :D

^In the other render you can see 1WTC reflected in 2WTC in the reflection on 1WTC. In other words, you see a reflection of 1WTC reflecting itself. The place will be like a house of mirrors.

List of differences of buildings/towers between the old and the current: (F means former building)

1 World Trade Center = F6 World Trade Center(Like stated above)
2 World Trade Center = F5 World Trade Center
3 World Trade Center = between F4 and F5 World Trade Center
4 World Trade Center = sections of F4 World Trade Center
Proposed Building 5 = former Deutsche Bank Building
No 6WTC, but it could be the Goldman Sachs Tower in the near future.
7 World Trade Center = sections of F7 World Trade Center

Hmmm there's no new plans for tower 5. And where did you get the idea, Goldman Sachs would or could be tower 6. If that's the case all of lower manhattan should be apart of WTC. :nono:

Actually i know this thread is specifically for tower 1 but i will only get out of line this once and say that Tower 5 is proposed but not finalized yet, and if it were to be finalized it would be where the NOW former Duetch bank was.

And now back on Subject, I see that there are putting the Currigated steel floor on the 55th floor. The tower allready looks amazing.

The tower 5 proposal dead years ago.

Wait a second guys, I think we're forgetting something very important... What about The Sphere?

This looks so real! And if I am correct, I think you can see 3 WTC's reflection in the tip of the closest side of the building :DI usually don't quote pictures, but I just realized something cool. The mechanical floor ventilation slats near the top of the structure look like 11s. In fact there are 9 sets of the "number" 11 near the top. 9/11. Kind of a neat way to subtly pay tribute.

Just like the positioning, I'm sure that's just a big coincidence.

nice photos

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/193/n183.jpg

Fantastic shots and also a great render! Well done...

I was just noticing that the Deutsche Bank building seems to be finally deconstructed. Has there been any decision about what to put there in its place?

Edit: I see on the previous page people saying that no plans for the space have been finalized yet.

^It's the future site of 5 World Trade Center and the underground vehicle entrance to the WTC site. What form 5WTC will take, what its use will be and how tall it will rise are undecided at the moment. It's not even in "proposed" status. The vehicle center is under construction already and will cover the northern half of the DB site.

Thanks Cul I've been waiting for one of your diagram.

Just like the positioning, I'm sure that's just a big coincidence.

Those are from January 7th..I'm tryin' to figure it out where the hell are those beams on the webcam..But there's no new steel up..

I'm probably the only one, but I can't help but fear that the WTC1 will be not impressively big enough when finished. Still hoping!

Chill man :) Trust me, just double the height of what the tower is now and you got a nice sized building. Believe me when Done it will look amazing:banana:

The block sizes in new york kind of prohibit a lot of skyscrapers with large bases. and speaking practically, buildings are inefficient once they get over a certain height, so id say this one is just about in the middle. it will be perfect.

Just curious, but how big should it be?

Kedaiobat why do you post that everywhere?

Its a spamer and should be banned!

Imagine the original 1 WTC without 2 WTC. Tada, that is what it will look like from some angles. From other angles it'll taper towards the top.

the scale of the freedom tower ain't bigger than the original Tower 1 anyway. The spire is taller, but in scale it seems even slimer, because it is not a box but gets smaller towards the top

Hah, the base alone is about the size of the two tallest in my hometown.

at least your town has buildings on that page. In my town there is a church and an industial tower both may reach 60 or 70 meters not more if at all. I call it the skyline of my hometown :D

My tallest buidling is 325 feet... NY has hundreds of buildings taller then that. Its almost (read it IS) embarassing...

Thank you.

Mistake it couldnt get the diagram up.

What all the pics, renderings and diagrams do not show is this. Tower One will be just as tall and slightly narrower than one of the Twins from the cardinal directions.

Something that can not be truly appreciated unless one has seen the Twins in person towering over lower Manhattan. (Few pictures captured there total dominance of the lower Manhattan skyline.)

(I am old enough to have witnessed the Twins construction.)

The rest of you will just have to wait a year.

I totally agree, I mean I was at the old WTC many times like at least 40 to 50 times and the twins were Huge so knowing that the New Tower 1 is going to be as tall if not slightly taller then the Old Tower 1 , Then the NEW Tower 1 is going to be huge and dominate the same as the old one did. Also the New Tower 1 is going to be stonger built then the previous Tower 1.

This is how One World Trade Center compares to Dallas' 2 tallest buildings.

What strikes one while looking at this is that the view of the towers was especially striking when they went up because there were no other tall towers around them. The new tower is going up amid a crowded landscape, and when the others follow it'll be even more crowded.

It's a tall tower, but in NYC it's not always easy to appreciate the height of an individual building because the whole skyline is so tall.

I still contend that two twin towers should have been chosen, and perhaps they should have been twice as tall. My design that I submitted to CNN actually included four twin towers each connected with a bridge. That would have been cool.

Renders please, show us how.

^^^It's over 660 feet tall

I will give you the height in Floors, Feet, Meters and in Percentage of Completion in Height.

They are up to the 56th floor right now. The Tower is 666 Feet and 8 inches tall. The Tower in Meters is 203.1. In Terms of percentage from Street level to Roof its about 49.6 percent there in terms of Meterage and Footage. Well I hope I helped you out there. :)

Hey, I was pretty close with my estimation then!

Yeah, it tapers, but from some angles it appears as though it is a box all the way to the top. What I said was accurate.

And the spire is a whopping ~50 feet taller than the original antenna. If you're viewing it from a different angle as shown in the diagram, yeah it'll look alot slimmer. Straight on from certain directions, as Zen said, it'll look pretty close. Thanks for the link, though. I could never figure out how to compare the original WTC to other buildings. Turns out you just type the name of the building into the search box. *facepalm*

Hah, the base alone is about the size of the two tallest in my hometown.


So you're in Ann Arbor now? Going to the University? Beautiful campus - I had a research job at the hospital this last summer.

Anyway, sorry to go off topic.

I think I remember it. We both submitted designs to the same competition if I recall correctly. Many folks thought the outline of mine looked too much like Sauron's Flaming Eye Tower. lol

In the end, Santiago Calatrava gave me a nice nod with his design for the new WTC PATH station enterance. It was most definately inspired by my widely displayed NWTC tower design, starting clear back in late 2001.

Beautiful building :okay: is it cladded from all sides now? :)

Also think they should of had two towers would of been better. Don't think it needs to have 4 towers.

I'm actually working for Toyota. My friend's dad got us both (relatively) cushy jobs, I didn't even have to finish my degree. :)

Anyway, all I can say to those of you who think the new WTC won't have the same presence as the old one, please try to imagine what four supertalls clustered up next to each other will look like. It's going to be a stupidly enormous complex.

Curtain wall is now on the 25th floor, except north-west corner; because of the NW crane, the curtain wall in this area was installed last week, now up to the 23th floor.

Also think they should of had two towers would of been better. Don't think it needs to have 4 towers.

There's a lot to be said for having four great architects each design one of the four towers, not to mention Calatrava's beautifully unique PATH enterance (I may have inspired him, but he took the basic idea to a whole new level). Each has it's own style, and yet each quietly complements the others. I think that these towers will look far better together than the bland repeated facade on the World Financial Center towers across the street.

...not to mention Calatrava's beautifully unique PATH enterance (I may have inspired him, but he took the basic idea to a whole new level)...

Unique????

Like all geniuses, Santiago Calatrva gets stuck in a feedback loop of his own ideas. He keeps revisiting an image he saw in his mind and can't quite get it just right, so we keep seeing it again and again. Just like Frank Gehry (If I have to see one more crumpled, shiny building from Gehry, I am going to scream!) Calatrava is a One Trick Pony.

Calatrava best visited this PATH station design in Milwaukie. At least with the museum in Milwaukie he got the wings to open and close as they were supposed to for the PATH station.

What's worse is that when you go with a design by a Star-chitect like Calatrava... you are guaranteed to get another building in the future, somewhere else, that is so similar to yours but somehow better and yours will always be compared as its poorer cousin.

All in all... It is a nice design but it seems like a "been there, done that" design by now and hardly "unique".

Is the glass cracked on that photo ???

I don't think so - I think you may be looking at reflection of the jib of the red mobile crane that is barely visible in front of the building.

I'm sure they will break a cladding panel sooner or later, but it's no big deal and I don't think this is it.

Since the floorplates get smaller as the building rises, it construction should really accelerate.

With the smaller floors, the time to get materials that high increases so it's a wash.

nice view spot

Hard to believe it will be the tallest building in NY this year. It's also good to see WTC Tower 4 starting to rise faster and faster.

I took this last month, but it's taken me this long to learn how to use Final Cut Express. More like this to come.

Dont exactly know if that would be true considering as the floor plates get smaller, the core has to keep changing. I would think would still stay the same?

I dont know if I am allowed to copy-paste the dicovery cam link on this forum, so I will describe it to you. If you go on the discovery cam, the second cam pic from the roof of tower 7 looking at Tower 1 you will see the scafolding being put in place in the middle portion of the tower so that they could start to work on putting the verticle beams for the inner core section of the 57th and 58th floors of Tower 1.

Which By the way once they put the verticle beams for the 57th and 58th floors, the Tower 1 will be 693 feet tall, just 49 feet shy of being the same height as Tower 7 currently is.

With the smaller floors, the time to get materials that high increases so it's a wash.

Actually, it's not a wash.

They do have to hoist the steel ever higher but, the steel (mostly the columns) gets lighter so they can hoist more pieces at a time.

In case anyone is wondering. They hoist bundles of beams and columns up to the nearest decked floor. Then once they get it all up there they place individual pieces.

Many years ago the Foreman of the shop I worked in worked for the company that put the antenna on the North Tower.

He told me they had a 40 foot box trailer with the roof cut off and the doors welded shut. They would fill it up with all the stuff that needed to go to the roof. What ever the crane could handle. Then as the crane lifted it to the roof they took the elevator up. They could then spend a few minutes having a smoke and finishing there coffee before the trailer arrived and they could unload it. The Favco cranes on Tower One are much faster.

Did they finish deconstruction the Doutche Bank Bulding??

^^ the last steel beams are only remaning so far. I am planing a major NYC update in March.

Still no new vertical steel this morning. Bit disappointing.

I can't wait to see it's completion. It really will be a symbol of America for years to come.

I'm sure you wake up every day and hope that these horrible buildings in the right will just magically disappear.

^^ this arent the worse bldgs in nyc, they should raze the whole stuyvesant town and build something grand there. NYC is doing good atm, but there are still many things to be fixed.

57th and 58th floor and only 200 metres! whats all that about other 120 metres doing up there.

(what i mean 280-417metres floors)

This thing is seriously monolithic. Went down to wtc today. Huge.
