Check the website for more info. The hotel made news a few weeks ago because it "celebrates" the view of construction, while some may see that as a negative...

Imagine that shot when it's all finished.

NYguy · #**8265** Posted **Apr 12, 2010, 12:58 PM**

Reminds me of that old, old rendering...

fvcrew22 · #**8266** Posted **Apr 12, 2010, 2:37 PM**

That's an awesome shot from wtc.com!

JDRCRASH · #**8267** Posted **Apr 12, 2010, 2:53 PM**

Cool. We're finally on the main piece of the tower.

Dirty Sandpit · #**8268** Posted **Apr 12, 2010, 9:27 PM**

Can someone tell me what's going on here? It looks like they're pouring some kind of footing:

Dac150 · #**8269** Posted **Apr 12, 2010, 9:50 PM**

From what I’ve read that is a support track for one of those big red cranes (like the ones we’ve seen for Tower 1).

Continental180 · #**8270** Posted **Apr 13, 2010, 12:42 AM**

i think earthcam has been frozen for the past couple of days.

same shot over again.

That is the crane pad for the Manitowoc 18000 (Bigger Red) that was disassembled from the Tower One site over this past weekend.

DCM is moving it to the hub to begin there work over there. (and man, do they need it)

Morrongiello doesn't have a pro account so he's capped at only 200 photos. I hope someone is downloading those pics-- they'd make a great time-lapse.

Hey, does anybody know if the new One World Trade Center Tower will have automated window washing machines like the former Twin Towers?

uaarkson · #**8278** Posted **Apr 13, 2010, 12:13 PM**

No, they'll have guys with plunger shoes cleaning the windows via toothbrush.

Isn't this the foundation for Tower 3? I mean, a construction deal is reached.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost definite that it's the transportation hub. Towers 2 and 3 are supposed to be to the immediate right and left.
