The Discovery channels camera on 7WTC is the best for clearly looking at the construction on top of 1WTC.

Do an internet search for. "Discovery Channel Rebuilding Ground Zero" the cam view will pop up in the upper right when the page is up.

You know...as this Tower goes up, and as the floor dimensions get smaller and smaller, I bet construction work will accelerate.

Not that much. You have farther to lift everything and the concrete won't cure any faster. There will be less steel, but erecting the steel doesn't really take that much time.

It's rising at a pretty good pace as it is now. These things don't go up overnight.

Slightly OT, but has anyone seen that Barclay's commercial that takes place right outside the lobby of 7WTC? I wasn't entirely sure if it was 7WTC or not until about the 100th time I saw the commercial. But you can clearly see the reflection of the Post Office building in the reflection in the glass. Pretty cool.

Hey STR do you think you could get a pic of 1WTC and the Empire State Building together?

Is this glass, or some sort of elevator? Didn't see it there earlier today, so apologies for getting any hopes up if I'm wrong:

It's an elevator. There are four there, 2 on either side of the tower. Same setup on the other side of the building also.

Yeah sadly its some elevator. But speaking of glass, when the heck are they going to put them in this suspense is killing me, I mean there had to be a reason for moving the netting up/off on the fire proofed floors.

I Have to say I like having the netting gone... It's cool to see the fireproofed steel. We get see a bit more of the structure of the tower this way. I'd like to see a few floors of fireproofing before the glass so that the messy paint doesn't get near the shiny clean facade.

Enjoy every stage of the process... The glass will come and it will be there a long time.
