..seriously

Kinda messed up. There was no one better that even volunteered? There are so many more 'patriotic' and 'new york' based musicians that I bet would kill to do that.

There is no planned ceremony as of yet, though more than likely there will be one, maybe for the entire complex. The memorial is another matter.

There is indeed progress on the site. Each time I come on here it looks like the site has made no progress whatsoever. It looks like the core hasnt risen but a few meters or so in the past month, but there has been a lot of changes everywhere else.

The ramp is completely down now. And they're building something on top of that building in the center. I don't know if it's something temporary, like a crane platform or something permanent.

Those photos show how small the Freedom Tower's footprint is in context of everything else around it. With monsters like Goldman Sachs or the WFC around it'll look anorexic.

CSABA8 · #**4089** Posted **Jan 12, 2009, 8:39 PM**

The freedom tower footprint is 200×200 feet ( 60×60 m ) so it's bigger than 7 WTC and around the same as WFC towers.The Goldman sachs tower upper floors around 150×240 feet. It may look like small now, but wait couple months !

its basically the same size as the old WTC; its a pretty massive building

Wtc Was 200 X 200 And The Sears Is 225 X 225

In fact, the Freedom Tower has a very small base compared to the other WTC towers...

There's always progress on site, regardless of what you see above street level. Most impressive is the memorial, where they are now
predicting an earlier completion.

I believe the original WTC towers to be 208 X 208.

STERNyc · #**4096** Posted **Jan 13, 2009, 2:09 AM**

Yes. It should be a little smaller than 200 X 200 feet because of the outward rising notches that were added. The tower footprint on the memorial was supposed to be 208 X 208 but were made smaller for logistical reasons. But whats a couple of feet? For all extensive purposes the Freedom Tower will be the same size as the North Tower and the memorial will mark the footprints. As far as the progress I would wager the bitterly cold weather has something to do with the frequency of concrete pours. What I really want to see though is steel!

theWatusi · #**4097** Posted **Jan 13, 2009, 12:03 PM**

The steel for the memorial is flying. It won't be long before the entire west side of the site is at street level.

They expect to have all of the steel for the memorial in place before the end of the year. At the pace they're going, I could see that being done easily.

I hope someone out there is doing a time lapse of this project from the very beginning to the end of it. That would be the most awesome timelapse ever!
