Thumbs up
WTC1 sure is coming along! Wow.... What's that Crane on the side for? kinda odd.. they even built a temp support for it and everything...
Any ideas what its for? Offloading or for that street?

BTW: Looks like they added some water to the south tower's footprint fountain--doing a leak test? Coming along so well.
Also got that one building down almost as well. I thought they would NEVER get that deconstructed.

GREAT Pics guys! History being recorded. Iron workers rock!

Really? It's WAY out of scale, or just a bit? Answer: just a bit.

As tall as it looks at the moment, we are only about one-third the way up to the roof.

1WTC looks to be about right, but WTC 4 seems a bit small given it should have about 40-60 stories, right? The window spacing doesn't seem to match up, but perhaps that's just me

WTC 4 is squat in the rendition. I think it would actually be off the photo. Look at the older buildings in the foreground. They are about 15 floors, and probably have lower floor to floor heights than what the new buildings will have. Using those as a reference, you can clearly see WTC 4 will be taller.

Still a very cool photo.

STR, could you please show us a view of the WTC complex from the future WTC5/old Deutsche Bank site?

Ehh...I'm afraid I'd have to go with "a bit" for T1, but "WAY" for T4. While it's hard to exactly duplicate angle and field of view, after messing around for an hour (10 minutes of playing around with angles, 50 tweaking the glass, which I'm still not happy with because I'm anal like that) this is the best recreation I could come up with.

The shot was taken from the NW corner of the roof of the building behind Site 5. Roughly 190-200 feet above the street. The shooter had a wide angle lens, 16 or 24mm equivalent. As such, perspective is really messed up for anything outside the center of focus (which was the ground, therefore the taller you get the greater the distortion).
