Does anybody know what the deal is with the base facade glass? I know they dropped the original plans with the orginal glass but do any of you know if they decided what new glass they are going to use in the future? Thank you

It is glass, but we don't know what glass is going to be used.

it seems nothing much is happening in this picture eh.
if you compare this to Carlos picture dated august 11, 2011 the
construction of WTC1 seems to stand still. even the chopper did not fly.
btw how do you delete pictures so i do not take so much space.

People are gonna hate me for saying this, but I almost don't mind if towers 2 and 3 aren't built because 1wtc will look taller and more dominant if it's by itself, towering over everything else nearby.

You think Tower 1 is dominant then you thought wrong. Tower 2 & 3 will be just as dominant, and those three towers will be large shadow casters like the original Twin Towers were.

I like how this shows how Greenwich Street really brings the whole site together.

99.5% agreed. I also think the freedom tower looks cooler by itself. It reminds me of how the twins looked on the skyline.

LM is starting to get really exciting again. The entire world is set to be shocked and blown away at how breathtaking this new complex will be. I mean it, I think a lot of people are going to be extremely surprised.

Cool video of the construction process. Not really new information if you've been following for a while.
