That is the most accurate up to date diagram I have seen!

gramsjdg · #**14504** Posted **Jul 2, 2011, 11:47 PM**

🞵🞵🞵?! Otie's diagram shows the observation deck now at 1241 ft instead of 1266? So now the observation deck isn't even as tall as the ESB?!

Now it's 112 ft shorter than the Sears Tower Obs. deck, 70 feet shorter than the original tower 1 deck, and nearly 140 ft shorter than the rooftop deck.

Oh well, at least it will be a nice building to look at from the outside... but 3 billion and all we get is an observation deck that's the same height as the ESB's?

That's a real nice gift for the people of NYC.

Yeah, that's all we get. Just look at that diagram. All we got indeed.

<sarcasm> How dare they!!!</sarcasm>

I use to walk around Governor's Island every night when I lived there, watching the WFC go up. Wish I could do it again.

uaarkson · #**14508** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 3:44 AM**

You lived on Governors Island? Man, that must have been something.

Dwils01 · #**14509** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 4:18 AM**

That is a great diagram.
Now I know where the observation deck will be located.
Will hopefully be going back to New York by the end of 2013, it's such a great city to visit.

sw5710 · #**14510** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 6:53 AM**

FYI. The Inside 102nd floor observation room of the ESB is 1224' AGL. The top of the spire above floor 102 where the antenna mast is mounted is 1250' AGL.

MadGnome · #**14511** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 1:00 PM**

Is that another lone column to the next level already?

The Grand Architect · #**14512** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 2:20 PM**

Excellent diagram. Please go over to SSC and tell Otie "thanks", not just from me, but from everyone here at SSP too.

Oh, and this is what I was working on the past few days:

Take a look and see what you think.

It is a SWEET diagram but the ESB profile doesn't seem to jive with the numbers. Neither does this one: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=8 The ESB has got to be illustrated too short in both.

2-TOWERS · #**14514** Posted **Jul 3, 2011, 3:28 PM**

that is an amazing diagram ....why is the last office floor a foot higher then the rest ... i know it was mentioned but i forgot

I was talking about 1WTC mostly. I saw what you are talking about ESB that is why I responded with #s in feet.

Yeah, but have you ever been in the 102nd floor observation "room"?

It's more like an oversized closet - I think maybe 15 people at a time can fit in there, uncomfortably. The vast majority of people only visit the 86th floor observation deck.

Any anime fans or anyone with a Netflix account might be interested in checking out the ending to the 2nd episode of "Eden of the East". There's an interesting scene where the girl is showing the guy pics of her recent trip to New York City and then the guy sees a pic looking like one of STR's renderings of the new WTC and says "What's this?" and then it follows with a discussion about the "Freedom Tower" under construction and how she can't wait for it to be finished, and about Ground Zero and 9/11. I wish I knew how to take screen captures, but anyone with netflix can watch it instantly.

Disregard the above. Guess the simplified antenna profile on the diagram threw me off

I see what gramsjdg was talking about which used to be the airship terminal? Located in the upper right of the pic below:
