He is a long time TwinHippie, dating back to that Justin Berzon book, if not longer. There was no reason to post that article.

I wonder if this article (Ground Zero Delays May Be Criminal) is worth noting. It is most likely pure ineptitude, not crime, that is causing these delays to taking place.

BTW, you are aware that the reflecting pools of the memorial will be up to 25% smaller than the actual WTC footprints, aren't you? I'm sure a some concrete and Home Depot pavers can easily fill in the missing area.

If that's Seven, I hope New York has an increased number of cloudy days in 2011+!

It's from 7, very reflective. I imagine the Freedom Tower will have a similar effect...

As a matter of fact, it's been said that Freedom will mirror the sky (like 7 WTC)

Good to know more progress, I haven't been down there in a couple of weeks.

Puzzlecraft · #**3285** Posted **Jul 9, 2008, 3:06 PM**

Any pictures of the "arches over the corridor"?

This is the only part that really makes me cringe a little...

Such a complex site

NewRussia · #**3289** Posted **Jul 10, 2008, 5:37 PM**

does that mean that the liberty st. pedestrian bridge will be dismantled?

Dac150 · #**3290** Posted **Jul 10, 2008, 5:45 PM**

The pedestrian bridge that will be dismantled is the 'silver' one that runs over the WSH to the GS HQ and 3 WFC. That was placed there to replace the West Street Connector, that connected into the Winter Garden. However once the underground pass is completed and operational, that connector will serve no purpose.

The 'white' one however (which is an original) that connects directly into 1 WFC is still a mystery to me. I don't know the fate of that one, but I do hope it stays.

The construction delays are almost as annoying as the delays at getting pictures of the site.

this may have little relevance to 1wtc sorry if this is too offtopic

nice. The site is going to fill in slowly from all sides and we aren't even going to realize it is all at ground level or above at some point and no more tubs ever to be photographed. Will be a good day when we realize it.

You can almost get a feel for what it will be like down there...

Dac150 · #**3295** Posted **Jul 11, 2008, 4:10 AM**

I for one can't wait to explore the underground of the Trade Center. Even though what we are seeing is minimal, it looks promising.

Working on the connector from the BPC side...

Lt. Washburn · #**3297** Posted **Jul 11, 2008, 4:21 AM**

Thanks for the photos!

Kamatzu · #**3298** Posted **Jul 11, 2008, 4:33 AM**

I experienced so much joy upon seeing the underground beginning to take shape that I may have to change pants.

Progress is good!

this is the most confusing undertaking ive ever seen in my entire life. We start hearing all these reports of massive delays while the freedom tower is actually growing and the transit hub gets its first steel. I am the only one that doesnt see the link up here?
