Fun fact: Sunday June 10th is the day 2,000 since the first steel column got in place.

Great diagram Otie as always! So wait a second. You have the diagram at the 104th floor but other people are saying it's at 105 so I'm kind of confused there. I always thought they were on 104 too and that the perimeter columns were for 103M and 104 and the core goes up to about 104M now.

Definatlyy the first, but not the last.
But we'll see.

Isn't 105 the parapet?

No, 105 is the roof (1,334' 8") and the parapet goes up 33' 4" above the 105th floor to bring the Tower up to 1,368'.

It's sad to see people argue over the number of floors the steel is rising.

I am pleased to see progress -- but these petty comparisons of how many inches the steel has risen is getting rather rusty.

You are calling out attention to yourselves for nothing.

The spire issue is what really cut the Achilles tendon of this project as far as I'm concerned...

Fish, I completely agree, the building will get done when it goes done so it is pointless to stew. Love your last number of recent contributions to this forum. It's been almost five years since I seen you regularly, great to have you back!!!

nice, when it seems that it's stopped growing it really hasn't and we get what amounts to 2 more floors, or 33'+ so there is still some more height to be garnered

The reason I gave up for several years was out of disgust -- I can only take so much!
I enjoy the good conversations, but sometimes it gets ridiculous when people argue over the number of inches a tower is rising.

That's about as exciting as debating how many inches the grass grew before mowing the lawn.

So what exactly counts as topping out? The first beam for the roof height which will be 1334 ft? Or the first beam for the parapet height of 1368 ft? It's a little confusing..Either way, doesn't seem possible that they will have the topping out by next week.

When the final beam structural beam is put into place. That is topping off. Plus I wouldn't doubt Otie. He has the blueprints to the World Trade Center I believe.

Wait a second, I’m confused. I thought I had read that the base’s originally chamfered corners had been scrapped in favor of (less interesting) 90° corners. But here it looks like the base does have chamfered corners, no? I see so few pictures of the base, and I haven’t been downtown in so long, that I didn’t even think about this until now... what’s the story?
