Which webcam are you looking at? I have been trying to find a webcam over looking Battery Park City.

Just this one -- http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/worldtradecenter/

But right now, if you view THAT link, it's going to redirect you to Earthcam's homepage with real-time live feeds of what NYC looks like right now. You can't see BPC, obviously, but BP begins at the WFC and so you could see that if you viewed the 1 WTC base webcam.

This is right behind the VSC In front of the W Hotel. The flooding is very very bad downtown, downtown Brooklyn and Jersey City. Path line is flooded as well. This is going to do some major damage to the site.

[NewYorkDominates]

Wow,we're probably not going to see construction resume for a while now.The PATH train is flooding.It's also pretty bad down here in Lindenhurst.

That's the PATH station in Hoboken. We don't know if the WTC station has flooded quite so dramatically, although the VSC flooding certainly isn't good news.

Queensman, talk to us! We hope ur ok!

I'm watching the report of the aftermath on the Weather Channel, and people are incorrectly saying that a crane atop One World Trade Center is dangling. It's the crane atop One57 that is hanging there; not the World Trade Center... Still the flooding at the WTC site is unreal. The PATH flooding is epic.

I was just there last week and it's unbelievable seeing all the damage and devastation... I sincerely hope everyone is alright. Queensman, hang in there!

Seriously, that was fast! :)

Mayor Bloomberg had predicted that the subway transit service should resume in a few days.

However, the question everyone here on this particular thread want to know is: when will construction resume at the World Trade Center?

CarlosV, I am relieved that you are posting here! Have you experienced any power outages?

As the mayor had announced earlier today, stay indoors due to down power lines and flooding, so the emergency crews can better serve the city to a quick recovery.

It would probably take several weeks. Inspecting for damages, and clearing up the flood water, but it would be just fine.

[RockMont]

I knew it would be resiliant, even before it was finished. The good news is, if the damage is minimal, it's in indicator of what the lasting nature of this building is destined to be.

[MrSlippery519]

However, the question everyone here on this particular thread want to know is: when will construction resume at the World Trade Center?


I think we will know better tomorrow or the following day, I assume crews will be in tomorrow to start assessing any damages and will go from there. Hopefully it's mostly just clean up and nothing was seriously damaged on site.

I have very little doubt that the lobby of One World Trade Center looked the same, meaning that the entire basement would be under water. This is hopefully the most extreme disaster we'll ever see occur here. No pictures of the site are available at the moment. Hopefully the return of power will allow us to see just how bad it is.

The basement floors of the World Trade Center site sustained between 15 and 30 feet of flooding, Crain’s reported. Worsening things is the ongoing power outage in Lower Manhattan, which is obstructing the pumping out of saltwater from the site. It could take more than a week to get the water out, according to Crain’s.
Saltwater causes more damage to electrical systems than fresh water does.
Of primary concern is the underground equipment that generates ventilation for portions of the site, including the 9/11 memorial and retail space.
Fully assessing the impact of the flooding is difficult until all the water can be pumped out. But preliminary assessments showed that the site, overall, did not sustain severe damage. As previously reported, the assessment of the site is being treated as a high priority.
There is not yet an estimate of what has been damaged, or how much it will cost to fix or replace. [Crain’s] — Zachary Kussin

Meanwhile, there was minimal damage to the World Trade Center site and none of the 225 trees around the 9/11 Memorial were hurt, according to the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. The agency reported there was limited flooding in the basement of One World Trade Center and the water has since been pumped out. Work has resumed on the site.

The Official Story

[NewYorkDominates]

By Daniel Geiger @dangeiger79
October 31, 2012 10:05 a.m.

World Trade Center flooded with 20 feet of water
Estimates provide an early indication that the lower Manhattan site may have been spared the worst of the storm, though several sources said that estimates of the damage were still being made.

The basement levels of the World Trade Center are flooded with between 15 feet and 30 feet of water, government officials and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey sources say, the result of the surging sea levels during Superstorm Sandy.

The flooding equals millions of gallons of water that could potentially cause costly damage to equipment and electrical systems at the multi-billion dollar construction project, though preliminary evaluations appear to show the site was not severely damaged.

Adding to the difficulties is an ongoing power outage in lower Manhattan that has interfered with efforts to pump out the damaging saltwater, which sources say is significantly more corrosive to electrical wiring and systems than freshwater.

Of special concern is equipment underground at the site that will generate ventilation for large portions of the World Trade Center, including the retail space, subterranean pedestrian and transit corridors, National September 11 Memorial and Museum and the PATH hub. Another source said on Wednesday morning that preliminary inspections of the site showed the costly plant had not been significantly damaged.

Another source said that the basement of Four World Trade Center, a nearly 2 million-square-foot office tower being built at the site by Silverstein Properties, was also not damaged. Those estimates provide an early indication that the WTC site may have been spared the worst of the storm, though several sources said that estimates of the damage were still being made.
Those sources said it would be impossible to fully assess the severity of the storm's impact until the seawater has been pumped from the site, which could take more than a week. Water had collected in deep pools some 70 feet below street level, where the World Trade Center's subterranean labyrinth of roads, corridors and infrastructure rests on bedrock.
A retaining wall surrounds the site underground. Referred to as the bathtub, the wall is in place to seal off the WTC from the Hudson River, but in the case of the flooding, has ironically acted as a basin for the floodwaters.
"The bathtub usually holds water out; now it's actually holding the water in," a government source said.
Officials described massive flooding at the site, when surging seas, which rose over 13 feet above normal levels, rushed down West Street. Most of the World Trade Center has been covered over with nearly complete components of its street-level infrastructure, including the Memorial Plaza space and a new section of Greenwich Street that will run through the site. When the waters flowed south however, they breached one of the few remaining openings underneath the site, the Vehicle Security Center, which is still under construction and will serve as the WTC's main entrance point for automobile traffic when complete. That structure's ramps and open shaftways acted as a chute for the massive flooding.
During a press conference Tuesday morning, Gov. Andrew Cuomo described a catastrophic scene at the WTC site.
"What I saw last night in downtown Manhattan were some of the worst conditions I had ever seen," Mr. Cuomo said at the press conference. "The Hudson River was literally pouring into the Ground Zero site with such a force we were worried about the structure of the pit itself."
Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority and the bi-state agency's top New York official, also spoke during Tuesday's press conference and said he doubted the storm surge had caused any structural damage at the WTC site, but that equipment and electrical systems being installed may have been damaged by the flood waters.
"There was a substantial incursion of water," Mr. Foye said. "I think it's fair to say that salt water and modern electrical equipment don't mix well. We don't expect structural damage but damage to equipment. That assessment is underway and is a high priority."
There has been no clear estimate yet of what equipment and systems have been damaged at the site and what the cost will be to either fix of replace them.

I wouldn't concern myself with what an elected official believes.

There is certainly nothing "zero" about the new World Trade Center complex!

For people concerned about the Goldman Sachs, Battery Park City did not lose power. Let's stay focused.

Hunser, my heart and prayers go out to all those affected by the massive fire in Breezy Point. There are no words for that. I hope all are ok!

Back on topic, it's just eerie seeing the WTC as well as all of Lower Manhattan in the dark. We shall rise up from this! This building will stand for our resilience in many ways...

Photos like these should and will be treasured, This may be the only time we will see this tower like this, without any lights. Shows the pure dominance among uncertainty that the towers before it were famous for.

I just saved every single picture on this page, and I would advise you all to do the same. They will be very rare, historic photos some day.

The lights in the tower came on briefly, but are now out again. Strangely, only the upper-half of the tower was lit up. I think it may have been fully lit at some point this evening, but when I went to the roof of my brownstone to get a view, it was dark again.

GMTA! :D I was just thinking the same thing - we may never see the tower in total darkness like that for as long as we live. Ominous, but in a nice way. It looks so pretty in the darkness, even with no lights! :tup:

Just recorded this from Anderson Cooper 360, showing the flooding at the WTC site and the museum in particular. I missed the first 15 seconds or so but it was just Anderson and the governor talking on the side of 1WTC. Pretty shocking flooding in the museum, no? Hopefully it doesn't delay the opening. (Oh and sorry for my trashy floor, I couldn't figure out how to cut that from the video. :) )

[steveve]

Recent visit to NY (prolonged due to Sandy), I stayed at Millennium before the storm, and, thankfully moved up to Midtown when the storm hit (i probably wouldn't have any power if I'd stayed).

Anyway, finally being able to leave the city last night, I caught a glimpse of the skyline... It was so amazing seeing all of Manhattan dark south of Midtown, except for the World Trade Center lit up as bright as day... truly a beacon of hope.

They will abandon it forever and just give up on the project altogether.

Nothing. Once completed it would be like the rest of Manhattan in regards to any storm.
