I never understood the logic in not calling the ground floor "floor 1" seems like common sense to me. Anyway, we also don't include the 13th floor, so we're back to even.

I'm waiting for that shot of the 1WTC with a 747 with the Enterprise hovering above it. Will anyone?

The space shuttle is flying all over Manhattan today on a 747. We should see lots of pics soon. I got three pics, but only over Hudson River as I can't see lower Manhattan from here.

Looking at tower 1 base cam, it looks like base cladding has arrived.

China often skips floors with the number 4 in them, so I guess everyone is cheating.

According to a Brazilian news site to the local paper Folha de São Paulo (link here), WTC will surpass Empire State as the tallest in NYC by next week. The picture in the news, though small, is very nice!
