But remember - "completion" of a tower is not the same thing has "topping out," that will happen a year or two earlier.
Right, that's whey I'm never really concerned with "completion" dates.

From the earthcam, the site is covered in snow. Haven't checked the forecast so I don't know if this will last or how much it is....I hope construction isn't hampered too much.
Yeah, its a snowy day out. But the show must go on.

Definetly looks promising that the south core will rise again soon.
Things are picking up again.

But that's not a big jump. Look at that building being demolished in the background (the one that ISN'T the DB building) in the old pic - in the new one a new frame is well on its way up. But I'm not concerned, probably not the easiest building to get going...

The north core will rise before the entire thing is at street level.

I have to stay out of NYC threads, my trip is only 8 weeks away. I start to pee a little when I see something NYC related now.

I remember when the original designs came out and they said it would be finished in 2009 and I was thinking how long away that was... I don't know why they even bother giving completion estimates.
23 grudnia 1970 roku - współpracownicy arch. Minoru Yamasakiego (nie wiadomo czy sam Yamasaki tam był), inżynierowie, robotnicy itp. świętują pobicie światowego rekordu oraz ukończenia konstrukcji North Tower.
23 grudnia 1970 roku to ważna data dla historii Nowego Jorku jak i budownictwa. Tego dnia został pobity kolejny rekord wysokości ustanowiony przez North Tower (WTC1) gdyż tego dnia budynek osiągnął wysokość 417 metrów i ukończono budowę konstrukcji owej wieży. North Tower po 38 latach odebrała ten zaszczytny tytuł Empire State Building (381m).
Dziś jest ważny dzień nie dla Ground Zero ale dla ducha historii tego miejsca, to właśnie 38 lat temu 23 grudnia 1970 roku z chwilą wyciągnięcia ostatnich belek konstrukcyjnych na dach North Tower (WTC1) i ich zamontowaniu tego dnia owa wieża stała się najwyższą wolno stojącą budowlą wzniesioną przez człowieka. Po 39 latach odebrano w końcu ten tytuł Empire State Building North Tower była wyższa od Empire State Building o 36 metrów.
23 December 1970 - Workers etc. finish construction of the North Tower, beating the record. 23 december 1970 is an important date for the history of New York as well as construction. The previous record for height was been beaten by North Tower WTC1 this day because the building achieved a height of 417 meters and it finished construction of that tower's structure. The Empire State Building has gotten back this honorable title after 38 years.
Today is an important day not for ground zero, but for the historical spirit of this place, exacly 38 years ago 23rd dec 1970 in the moment when the last beam was installed on the top of the North Tower this tower bacame the tallest freestanding structure in history of mankind. Finally, after 39 years the title was taken from the Empire State Building - North tower was 36 meter higher than the ESB

You will have a lot to choose from...
