WOW!! Great renderings, Otie!! I clicked the link and viewed your other rendering and LOVE the one where you superimposed the rendering onto a picture from the Port Authority showing the site under construction. didn't want to post it without your blessing but I think everyone would really enjoy it.
I think, by far, this will be my favorite building in all of NY!!
Goes to show it's not always the size that counts. It's how you use the space.

Are they taking the crane down in anticipation of inclement weather, or are they moving on to a different phase of construction where the crane is no longer needed?
I think they're removing them, you can see they dismantled the western (lower) portion of railtracks too. And as for now a mobile crane as been erected, probably to take down the other crane in the oculus and support the next construction phase.

One of the earthcams updated once today, then froze. It's the "Street View" cam. Street View
The Millennium Hilton must have briefly had power. Maybe from a generator.
Edit: PS. Wait, could the trees be injured by salt water flowing directly into the planters? I know salt will eventually make its way there, bot not this much, this fast.
Floodwater Pours Into 9/11 Museum, Hampering Further Work on the Site

The main floor of the National September 11 Memorial Museum, still under construction nearly 70 feet below the memorial plaza at the World Trade Center, filled with at least seven feet of water during the storm, its president said Friday. The flooding nearly immersed two fire trucks that have already been placed in the museum and it surrounded the symbolic last column taken from the twin towers.
“It was shocking,” said Joseph C. Daniels, the president and chief executive of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. He said he had gone to bed on Monday believing the museum was safe. He awakened on Tuesday to word that the site had flooded overnight. Later that day, he witnessed it himself from a balcony overlooking the enormous Foundation Hall on the main floor, now filled with thick, black water on which wood planks and other debris floated.
The view from the balcony showed water reaching almost to the top of the fire truck used by Engine Company 21 to respond to the attack in 2001, and the truck on which Ladder Company 3 arrived. A Fire Department ambulance was also surrounded with water. All three had been shrink-wrapped in plastic before they were installed in the museum. With the floodwaters still standing, there was no way on Friday to assess how much additional damage the already battered vehicles had sustained, or whether the plastic enclosure had protected them.
