NYGUY, that spire is so beautiful! I've never been a big fan of them myself, but if it looks that great it will be amazing. Do you know if the light at the top is going to be that bright? Where it will light everything up like that? How beautiful if it is.

This whole Ice cream swirl/Narwhal tusk thing is news to me. None of my material shows anything like that. The scan you've posted doesn't show the kind of geometric twist the DC render does.

I'm hoping it's an error, because that looks dumb as hell.

1 wtc may not be the tallest in the world but, it is destine to be the most iconic but that just my opinion.

Complex01 · #**15592** Posted **Aug 20, 2011, 1:25 PM**

Wow its looking awesome. Love coming back and checking on the updates. Very Kewl...

RoyalOil · #**15593** Posted **Aug 20, 2011, 2:53 PM**

It's not on uk's discovery channel !!!

Davidsam52 · #**15596** Posted **Aug 20, 2011, 4:48 PM**

I think I know why there's been a lull in new steel...floors 79-80 I think is another node point & they probably have been waiting for the fabrication of these pieces.....similar thing happenned last winter down around floors 53-54

Discovery Channel Canada isn't showing it that day either. Nor is it on the following few days after that either.

I thought so as well but the nodes were installed at the same speed as the other steel recently. Maybe attaching the floors to these nodes takes longer?
