Good photos! Especially from 84th floor. It gives a little imagination of what the view should be 10+ floors higher in 2013. Thank you all guys for updating with photos. I am away from NYC and miss it so much, and have a chance to see our skyline changes only with Liberty webcams and your updates. THANKS!!!

As for the radiation - I got it. But I guess there's a beaming/emission of "telecoms". If you stand for a long right across the "tablets", round transmitters, you can get bold.

Anyway, it would be good if there is an option for outdoor observation deck. Maybe not in 2013, but later, in 2015 or 2017. Who knows...

Does anyone have any information about earlier spire/ring designs? Specifically the design on the first and third drawings on the 1WTC page.

Okay I'm not sure if any of you knew, but the top of the spire has a beacon that will flash the letter "N" for New York in Morse Code

I think the WTC 1 is comming on well. I hope they increase the height of WTC 2 again as it looks stunning in the drawings! I would have loved to have seen the twin towers of WTC 1

You know, at the rate these guys are working, I'll bet the tower gets done before 2013.

steel now is for floor 89 or 1,107' and future floor 90 at 1,130' add 8 or 10 feet for the splices just above 90.

Lol don't count on it, there is still plenty of work for the construction workers to do on this Tower like the spire, communication ring, core, interior, cladding, the base, etc. This Tower has a good nearly two years before completion maybe a year and a half. It will probably go by in no time so before you know it we'll all be at the observation deck celebrating the opening of the Tower.
