To be honest- I think this version looks like a silly hat. I much prefer the exposed versions. Hmm, who knows what we'll get?!

Would be great to have an outdoor deck too. Parapet could be an answer...
No. The building's observation deck has been built like that because of the number of mechanical floors, and there is no room for an open air observation deck, plus with radiation coming off the mast. Just no.

Ive been trying to figure out why i'm not very fond of the spire as depicted in the posts above and i think i know why. As silly as this may sound,it looks like a big upside down roofing nail to me. Personally i'd like to see a reproduction of what was sitting atop the North tower albeit tweeked a tad to look a bit more streamlined/modern i suppose. I guess im not really feeling the way the spire fattens up in the middle and slims down as it goes upward and i think the octagonal.........motif??.........looks a little funky. Almost like it's being overdone/trying too hard,so to speak.........if you get my meaning. I dunno

It is real. I hope you aren't related anyway to MadGnome, but the threat is real. It has been explained to death in the PDF I posted and the definition of an antenna is a mast that releases radiation.

This link is going to put this topic to death once and for all.

December 23rd @11:30 am to be exact,they lifted the last steel beam..........and then hoisted a 30 foot Christmas tree as well that sat on the southeast corner of the building.

I don't think you understand what radiation is. You seem to think the mere presence of radiation implies harm... it doesn't. NPR streaming from my radio is radiation. Light is radiation. My computer is emitting radiation into me right now. *I* am emitting radiation.

That link you posted has absolutely nothing to do with harmful radiation. How old are you? You're operating with a 5th grader's notion of what radiation is...

Even if the radiation isn't that strong let's just say that it isn't there is still a lot of equipment up there that prevents any observation deck to go any higher than the one that is going up now.
