Thanks Brian.

I wonder which crane they are for. I would have thought that all the cranes near 1WTC would already have their counterweights in place.

Yes it is. Loving every minute of it. The show really brings home the complexity and strength of the building.

Anyone else crying?

Incredible show! Fingers crossed no significant setbacks due to the storm.

YSL · #**15792** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 1:14 AM**

The show was great.
This building is soooo beautiful. I can't get enough of it and the beautiful skyline.
New York is such a special place and I can't wait until the entire site is rebuilt.

Have to admit, that last bit about the fire fighters, when they were talking to that one guy who's son was a firefighter who died, I did. You're not alone.

Traynor · #**15794** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 1:19 AM**

Hey!!!

Please type: SPOILER ALERT if you going to divulge information about the show!

We can't see it until Sept. 11. And the UK gets it on Sept. 5th.

Is it over already? I thought it was 3 hours long tonight?

theWatusi · #**15795** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 1:33 AM**

Still going. Lots of good skyscraper — on Discovery Channel tonight.

NYguy · #**15796** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 1:47 AM**

Yeah, the final 3 hrs wraps up next week. I'll view the construction with new pride after watching some of the stories on the show.

Otie · #**15797** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 2:04 AM**

dbox did an extraordinary job. Anyone saved screenshots?

KevinFromTexas · #**15798** Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 2:45 AM**

Does anyone know if this will air on the internet (legally)?
