I'm very confused. I guess I'm not good with the process of raising steel. Aren't we on floor 92..?

I'm sorry...but I didn't mean to sound like I was busting your chops or anything. I apologize if it sounded that way. But, the miles you're quoting now...are they road miles?? If you look at a map...and do air miles..it's less than 25 away. If you drove it, it can easily exceed 35 miles because of all the turns and whatnot. Either way....please keep up the excellent work. You're one hellava photographer. Thanks for all you do here..and keeping guys like me glued to the screen with the great photos.

The Twin Towers used to do the same thing. Their steel would change color through the day. That was why Philippe Petit mentioned that the buildings were alive, and I guess One World Trade Center is coming to life now too.

I think you mean their aluminum skin, not their steel. And I agree. Back when I went to school just north of the towers, I loved looking up at the North Tower from a classroom window as its facade shimmered in the afternoon sun. It was really a sight to behold.

Steel and aluminum don't change color (unless dirty and heated of course). Steel and aluminum do however reflect light. That's what steel on every building does. When it was really sunny the Twins looked shiny, when it was cloudy the Twins looked grey. The "Four" steel spandrels on this buildings four sides do the same thing.

Wait, so I'm gonna ask one more time: How do these count as 92 if before these beams were erected, we were at 90? Do these beams count for more than one floor?

The huge column you see in Carlos' pic is a core column, extending from the 89th to the 91st floor.

The correct term is perimeter column.
