Looks like they bought 4 or 5 of these steel mats they use to walk the cranes on... Maybe a sign of tower crane installation this weekend?

I hate to burst your bubble, but many of the famous tall towers do the same thing.

Oh, I hope they will install a third tower crane, so they will be able to continue with progress much faster.

One question: When they will install a third crane, will it be placed in the core of the tower or at the facade?

Those are probably going to be used as the ramp to move the crane off of the platform so that it can be disassembled and removed. Remember the ramp was removed after the crane was originally moved onto the platform.

I think they will never erect a third crane.

If that's the case, then I say they pop on about a thousand more sections to the Manitowoc 18000 and let it keep erecting the tower.

The ramps are good reason that they would be disassembling the Manitowoc. They are longer since the boom is longer, so if that's the case, then so long Big Red! We couldn't have erected 1WTC without you!

I think some of us may be saying goodby too big red a little too early. The corner nodes have to be finished before it goes back to the yard.

Looks to me like they are prepairing to install another tower crane at the PATH station.

Not sure if someone already posted this but I just noticed Jay-Z included a rendering of One World Trade Centre in his new music video "Empire State of Mind"

Pause at about 2:05 and you'll see it...

Pretty cool song...

Ground zero hotel wants to attract 9/11 tourists

Quote:
By SAMANTHA GROSS (AP)


"People choose to be here because they want to be close to it. They want to feel it, they want to celebrate. They want to remember," she said, standing by an open-air patio overlooking the site. "We have a very accessible view on it."

The hotel, which began taking reservations last month, offers some rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that open directly onto the construction. Guests and members will have access to the restaurant patio with views of giant cranes, jackhammers and metal scaffolding.

It seems to be the first area hotel to use its proximity to the site as a marketing strategy. The carefully chosen name telegraphs the hotel's location to prospective guests. And visitors to the hotel Web site are greeted by construction photographs and memorial images.



In this photo taken March 3, 2010, One World Trade Center is under construction in New York, in a view taken from the World Center Hotel. With rooms boasting views directly out on the construction, the hotel's proximity to the site of the Sept. 11 attacks is being used as a marketing tool.

Most disappointing to see the progress back to a snails pace. Hopefully they can get it together and shoot for the stars this month.
