Forgive me for asking, but what is the 3rd crane used for? Are they using that one for bringing glass and other supplies?

I was in New York last year and took pics of the new World Trade Center but never posted them. I am treating my wife to a weekend in the Big Apple from October 19th thru the 21st (which is actually a year to the day since our trip last year). I'll have to take pics then, and post those and the other pics from last year to show the progress from a year ago...

Well then, as far as I'm concerned, 1WTC topped out on 9/27/12. (obligatory banana)



The WFC has regained her shepherd.

Oh my god would they please just hurry the frack up and get that stupid netting off and put up the rest of the fracking glass already!!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!

The snail's pace that this is progressing at now is killing me!!! And I know I can't be the only one. Externally, visually... doesn't it seem like this work of art has stalled out? I can see my fingernails growing faster than this!!! FRACK!!!!

Looking at that shot from the south of 1wtc and 4wtc, it makes you recall when the Twins were being built. So great to see 1wtc getting closer to being done. Anyone know whether that setback feature near the top of 4wtc will have any kind of observation area, to look down on the plaza and at 1wtc? Just wondering.

I do not believe so, merely because it is strictly an office building, it would kinda be like the old 7 WTC having an observation deck, or the Marriot from the old complex having one, pretty un-necessary lol.

We do not share frequencies with the NYPD. However, we have access to NYPD frequencies on our radios and they have access to ours as well.

please I'd like to ask you something:

at the top of Freedom Tower, there will be four massive cubes, I really don't know what is their purpose..

On this schematic view you can see it:




Is it for aeration ??

on the top of the Twin Towers, there was no thing like that

That's not uncommon on the top of skyscrapers, you just don't see it because it's usually hidden, as it will be here. This isn't an exact replica of the Twins,
so I wouldn't judge anything based on that.

I have calculated that if the glass continues like now, it will end in March 2013 (without the base)
