Thanks for the info. A light house beacon would look pretty sick (talk about Babylon A.D. ha?), but I kind of wish the beam would be vertical too. Because that way it would be possible to recognize NY from very far away...

I like the lightsaber spire beam but I hate the lighthouse spire beam, the lighthouse one looks like the lights of a police car or an ambulance and on a skyscraper that is rather ridiculous

New steel up today..Plus:

Wow, after a horribly slow November, December and January they now have an incredibly fast February. In this month alone there have been 3 height jumps, that's awesome. Considering this gigantic speed increase and the delays at 4WTC caused by the steel fall incident I have kinda like no doubt that 1WTC will top out to the roof earlier than 4WTC

pnapp1 · February 28th, 2012, 06:09 PM

New outer columns going up today. Up to 93 now... I think.

A horizontal light, like a beacon, I think, Is emblematic of what the Statue of Liberty stands for: a beckoning symbol lighting the way for those seeking a new life, a new world. I think it is appropriate aesthetically and symbolically.

I'll believe it when the PA says it. I can't find any official sources on this information.

Well they feel behind during January but it seems they are really picking up the pace! Hopefully they are on target

Wow 4wtc glass is so reflective, like it just disappears and blends.
