From the rendering, it looks like the base section is almost complete.

from this render it looks like we can start to see the building rise over the Winter Garden, so if any gets a chance go out to the river and take some shots lol!

Spielberg to Make TV Doc. on World Trade Center Rebuild

January 14, 2010

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar winning film director Steven Spielberg is to make a TV documentary on the rebuilding of New York's World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the September 11 2001 attacks.

The Science Channel said on Thursday that Spielberg would executive produce the six-part documentary series "Rebuilding Ground Zero", due to be shown in 2011.

I think they're jumping the gun: save the documentary for when the rebuild is DONE.

Well if you don't film it while they are building it....how are you going to have any footage of the rebuilding? By 2011 it will be topped out and most of the outside done so the main construction of the tower will be complete and the memorial *should* be done by then as well.

NYguy · #**7226** Posted **Jan 15, 2010, 11:01 PM**

^ Besides that, there will be other documenting of the WTC rebuilding, including our own, seen daily. But I'm looking forward to what will most likely be the stuff we haven't or aren't seeing, and some of the other behind the scenes developments...

Science Channel said the series would use 3D, time-lapse cameras, computer modeling techniques and other high technology methods to bring the story to life.

Not normal in what sense? The steel just won't have the configuration of the remaining office floors?

what he means is that just like the first mechanical floor, diagonal members will be seen reconnecting through the windows. Although this floor is the widest in the building, it will be where the base ends.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

I wonder if Danny Forster from 'Build it Bigger' (I believe that's the name of the series with him in it) will do an episode(s) on it.

They did one on the Hover Dam bridge, but the show ended with the two cranes collapsed. Since then, they have the arch complete, and it's looking great! Hope they revisit it.

I hope MANY shows do a rebuilding of the towers, and talk with Iron workers that are working there that also worked on the original towers (or sons now working on this one). would be a great story to tell.

^ Look hard and you can see several of those guys at work...

Hi guys. Do they still need those two red mobile cranes?

@NYGuy: Great picture!

kickser · #**7233** Posted **Jan 16, 2010, 2:34 PM**

^^Tis picture is a great pic to show HOW MUCH space is between the verizon bldg. and the WTC1.

canadate · #**7234** Posted **Jan 16, 2010, 2:45 PM**

Photos I took yesterday. Had plenty of time this go around. Had to make up for the last ones!

The race is on!

philvia · #**7235** Posted **Jan 16, 2010, 2:46 PM**

Danny Forster would taint the new WTC if he did that.

great photo update!

OneWorldTradeCenter · #**7236** Posted **Jan 16, 2010, 3:28 PM**

Thank you very much for that amazing update! Super shots.

I personally cannot wait for that overpass to be removed; such an eyesore, but convenient nonetheless. I’m keeping an eye out for visible internal work. Over the next few months it’ll get more evident.

Amazing How Big The I Beams Are... Or The Cross Beams....
Thanks For The Great Pics.

I really like how the Goldman Sachs building looks with 7 WTC. A very nice balance.

My theory is that they are there to spread the tension of the cable net wall over 2 beams. Again, why only this side?

Maybe it's just a giant egg slicer (for the Subway?)

All our guessing is out the window, there is no beam above the spandrel beam above the entrances. The spandrel beam is more than enough to support the cable net wall, even on the south side, once the hanger is supported.

I'm going back to rebar for a wall. There are alot of walls on the 3rd floor for air plenum's.
