Those perspective shots are righteously keen. Downtown, the Brooklyn core and Jersey City look like a single big-ass entity. And unless my eyes are deceiving me, 4WTC's crane is just barely poking up behind the Chase tower.
One of this chap's photos shows ESB and my Three Musketeers in a unique visual demonstration of skyline dominance.

Edit: I hope this comes out right:

PERFECT angled picture... Look how synchronized the skyline looks (just look at the World financial Centre and how it's like stepping stones to the freedom tower!)

Wow... I was amazed at all of the people who lined up in Jersey City, Weehawken, and Hoboken extremely early before the fireworks.

Like I said, I live in the Silver Towers, so I could see all of the people lining up.. It was probably crowded at 4.

I bet the BEST view of all was from the helicopters flying above!

Yeah, they've been doing the final tests on the north pool for over a week now.

Let's speculate here: By August 24th, what floor will the One World Trade Center be up to?

Also, I know the park is opening on September 11, but will they have the pools and everything already fixed up?

Agreed.. Church St at Lispenard St always creeps me out when I walk there.. I know the drain cover that they were filming when the first tower was hit is still there.. It's just weird to know that millions of people across the world have seen it and knowing that is the first glimpse of the tower getting hit..

Later this year.

I think I might be visiting New York again in the holiday season(last 2 weeks of December) this year to watch that Radio City Christmas special to show my brother and sister for the first time. So,to ask,how tall will WTC 1 be at that time? I know it will at roof top by early 2012,but will it be already taller than the Empire State Building at that time?

The tower's steel frame is scheduled to "top out" in late 2011/early 2012, meaning the steel frame will reach the top of the building.

See here:

Also, probably near December, they will be at the 82-85th floor (my speculation).

I can't stand Faux News but they sure do a great job of documenting "The Rise of Freedom"

The latest two episodes are very good. This one explains the redundancies built into the evacuation process of the new towers.

http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/rise-of-fr...mbering-reliving-911/?playlist_id=161320

And this one on the Flag from Ground Zero being restored by everyday Americans.

That's funny... I can't stand MSLunacy but I wouldn't mind watching their FT coverage... if they had any.
