Nor is it the business of the Port Authority to do so with their own website.

Basically, we can observe and report the updates that are posted on these websites, but we shouldn't rely on them as being completely accurate or current. And we certainly shouldn't be using them as rock-solid sources to back up our opinions and claims. After all, what was the last project of any kind in which the owners and construction company were forthright with keeping the public informed of exactly what they were doing, and when they were doing it?

Silverstein Properties not the owner or operator of 1 WTC at all. The 2006 deal with SPI gave 1 WTC and 5 WTC back to the Port Authority to own, build and manage. 1 WTC is owned by the PA, being built by Tishman as an agent for the PA and all contracts for the building are authorized by PA Board. It will be managed by a JV of durst/PA. SPI has nothing to do with 1 WTC, many many things have changed in it's design since SPI turned it over to the Port.

It probably wasn't because of the wind though. Accuweather is never right, it always has these alerts that never happen. Unless the National Weather Service has an alert, don't trust it. And are we talking vertical steel, or perimeter columns that we're waiting for?

I only get happy for the perimeter columns but the core columns are also very welcomed.Also,that Accu website is quite unreliable when it comes to large cities for some reason.

9 trucks of steel due on site by 5am to avoid embargo due to parade, if winds are low, they will start bringing the steel up to deck at 7am and then start shaking it out.

ANOTHER SLOW DOWN, MORE COST, ETC.

A report I just read indicated that a massive oversight in the positioning and time line of the WTC 1's sub level loading docks are blocked by the temporary path station and will therefore impede the ability for tenants to move in by the completion date. As a result, for an extra cost of more than 50 million, temporary loading docks will have to be erected until the new path station is completed, and the old temporary one is removed.

Thanks alan for the update, 9 trucks!! how many lengths of steel are on a truck?! is it all for WTC 1?
