hell no! im not gonna let an ugly ass spire get on one of the most important buildings in the nation

[jd3189]

I disagree. If the official height isn't 1776 feet then a lot of people will be confused and angered since "1776" and "tallest building in the Western Hemisphere" has been the tagline for this building for years.

If that was the case,Durst would have already met an angry mob on his doorstep.

Glad to see you don't lol. Just chill out and don't try to cause trouble. But yes it was a big mistake to have given Durst any responsibility on this project. Hope the Port Authority and SOM can settle what he has tried to screw up.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2iuck68.jpg



As has been already pointed out, this comparison is incorrect. More specifically, it’s extremely misleading and makes a lot of errors re: perspective, height normalization, etc. The building tops are almost aligned, and the tower’s edges are almost traced correctly, but very small errors in those tracings lead to large differences in projected height, and the bottoms of the buildings are not aligned at all (because the actual perspective differs from the render) — overall it adds up to a significant deviation. Also, this projection was done a while ago. Anyone using applying it to project the height compared to our current tower is compounding the error further.

To demonstrate, here is the same image, re-edited. Hm, suddenly you wonder how the original showed such a higher roof.
http://f.cl.ly/items/3l2d3I3I0G3t1A1p1e2F/1WTCcompEdit.jpg

I will post a more reliable comparison if I can find usable images. In the meantime I highly, highly recommend the diagram Otie has been maintaining as it is pixel-perfect and well-sourced. I will post the link once I find it. EDIT: here’s Otie’s diagram, this shows that the actual remaining height is much more modest than that old projection would have you think (note that I am not disparaging 1WTC’s height at all, in fact I think it is an impressive height!): http://www.flickr.com/photos/62018165@N04/7353421608/

I am embedding a copy I downloaded, Otie let me know please if this is frowned upon and I will remove it.

Very nice Gabedamien.
I believe the trialngle will peak at the roof, and not the top of the parapet.
Otie is a class act in this asylum. I'm bettin he doesn't mind.

[jd3189]

What if Donald Trump were to donate 20 million dollars?:D

Agreed. He always wanted to be involved in America's tallest building and even through he really doesn't like the new WTC, if this meant he could reverse the crap Durst caused, his dream would semi-come true.

[The Jerk]

^Fuck Trump, he's irrelevant to this city now, his father Fred is spitting up from his grave.

I can see the damn thing out my window, lit up like a French whore at night. I guess I don't really care how tall she is. I'm just happy she's here :)

[TouchTheSky13]

Guys I think that I've just accepted the whole spire situation. I mean it's not great, but it's better than nothing. The old one was better, but Durst is trying to save money so that he can generate more revenue for 1 WTC and put more money in his own pocket.

I still think it looks better than Willis Tower's antenna as well as John Hancock Building's. At least we're able to say that. And who knows, if they can come up with a cool lighting scheme for it, then I think more people will change their minds about it.

Just a few more weeks until it's topped out! Can't wait! I'm gonna be going there in November. Do you all think the glass will be finished by then?

[PZelda]

The cladding is at the 80th floor now? Awesome! I'm heading down to visit the 9/11 memorial before I fly out - pictures ahoy when I get home :) Took a bunch of pics of 1 WTC from as many places as I could - SI ferry/Staten Island itself, Brooklyn, Hoboken, intersection of Church and Lispenard, around lower Manhattan. :) Sad to be going home!

[The Jerk]

I don't mind Chicago having the taller building. Does Paris or London bemoan Dubai?

(that's a little jab to you Chicago folks)

[jd3189]

:previous: But Chicago has had the title for almost 40 years now. It's time for a new symbol to rise up and since the Spire has been dormant for a while, 1 WTC is the only candidate right now.

Nicely Done......looks like we could have 2 more jumps... last jump outer columns only

[Private Dick]

What if Donald Trump were to donate 20 million dollars?:D

Trump doesn't have that kind of money to "donate". His net worth has plummeted as the value of his real estate holdings most certainly has -- and that's assuming very conservative leverage ratios on his real estate.

That's the reason he's not really even a developer anymore. He's been licensing the Trump name to building projects that he has little or no involvement with in attempt to make himself solvent again. And let's not overlook his sham online Trump "University" and cheesy line of Trump ties, suits, chocolates, etc. Talk about pitiful desperation. The guy is a fucking buffoon con man.

Honestly, this diagram kinda confuses me. We have 2 jumps left. The Next jump takes us to the 105th floor, 1,334 feet. Then the next and final jump will take us to the parapet, 1,368 feet. I don't know if you mentioned this or the point your trying to make but we do not have that much left to go. We have about 60 feet left. The positioning of the rendering along with the real life picture does not match. Just wanting to clarify.

[RockMont]

That 105th floor, must have a much higher ceiling, than the rest. It's at 104 and it still looks like it has a little ways to go.

[sw5710]

The top row of beams is floor 104 or 1,313, 10''

I am getting the sinking feeling people are just looking at the diagram without reading the whole post. :( I specifically made that diagram (or rather, re-edited it) to show how flawed such projections are — the original I was criticizing was WAY off in its projection, and was being dragged forward in time to boot, creating a double error in perception.

I put big red text in that diagram to try and prevent anyone from thinking that it was in any way, shape, or form indicative of ANYTHING current or accurate, but apparently that wasn’t enough? :shrug:

So, in big big letters:

That diagram is significantly unreliable. It is meant to show how such ad-hoc diagrams can be very unreliable. It debunks an earlier, even more useless version of the same diagram. It does not apply to the current real 1WTC which is already taller and clad higher. The end. :haha:

Hey Carlos, post the other one that I sent ya too :D

This pic (and the other one I sent him) were taken around 1pm today when I visited the 9/11 memorial. They were lifting a BIG beam up, and I had my camcorder with me so I got it on video as well.

I think so. What I think they should do is put in more cables so that it creates a sort of cone shape on top of the communications ring so that the tower will seem taller. They could light it up pretty well, too.

[sw5710]

So when will they start floor 105?

The top row of beams is floor 104 at 1,313' Floor 104 still needs columns and beams installed to take bring us to the roof level or floor 105 at 1,334' Then will come the 33' parapet.

So, basically these next two weeks.

The Port Authority says the topping off date is on July 4th so it has to be done by late June.

I have to visit NJ more often !! :tup:
Can anyone quote me a ticket price of a train ride from WTC to Jersey City (by train)?

Yes, we'd love to have you. :cheers: But I don't pay attention when I buy a ticket...:notacrook:

You can just take the subway to the World Trade Center station and transfer to the PATH which will take you over to Hoboken. It's $2.25 for the subway and $2.00 for PATH. You can use the Metrocard for the PATH system as well. I have been to the World Trade Center, but never went over to New Jersey.

I will admit, I've avoided the WTC entirely since the reconstruction -- just too depressing for me.

I applaud you guys who take the time to photograph the progress -- it's painful to know how many innocent lives were lost on that horrible day. :hell:

[meh_cd]

Last time I used the machines at the WTC PATH terminal it gave me Sacagawea dollars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacagawea_dollar) for change. I had not seen those for years.

Being from North Dakota I thought it was hilarious.

^^^ I am not sure but I think the 33rd St PATH would give you a direct ride to Hoboken (don't have to make any transfers)? I *just* did the WTC PATH the other day so I could go to Hoboken and had to transfer at Newark to get there :)

But yes. Some really nice views of 1 WTC from Hoboken! I wish I would have had time to go into Jersey City - the recently posted pics are AMAZING.

All Transit systems give back dollar coins....

2$ , some of the regional rail lines have views....like coming down from Summit,NJ or the North Jersey Coast line in south amboy.

correct

[jlanka]

or take the Journal Square PATH from 33rd st and change at Pavonia/Newport for the WTC train, then get off at Exchange Place and you'll be right where that pic was taken.

[GeorgiaBoy24]

I'll probably be in New York this April. Think it will be open by then?

The building would be open, but the observation deck won't. It won't open till June.

You expect to see that in either the Dakotas or Montana, but New York and New Jersey? :shrug:

I've never received dollar coins from the regular MTA machines, CTA machines, or DC Metro machines. Maybe I'm just lucky. It isn't a huge deal, but it was a bit of a surprise since they aren't really in circulation in my part of the country.

Anyway, I think I've driven stuff of course enough. Back to 1 WTC. No new steel yet, right? Looks like I just caught them hauling up some more stairs to attach to the side of the tower on the earthcam.

^We're in the same dilemma we were a few months ago,glass panels aren't installed on the side because the stairs haven't been raised.
