great close up shots...wow.. looking at these closeups this building could probably be over 2000 feet the foundation , just looks like this building will stand forever...... just like the ESP this will be a very STRONG building....

WTC ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Pardon my ignorance but I've always wondered how they make the cranes go higher as the building they're constructing increases in height? Please describe.

Thanks...

Good thinking, 2-TOWERS, but unfortunately, building heights are only counted or measured from the streets up. I wish it were that way myself.

Great pics NYguy and Pussy Willow!!!

Willow, I LOVE that 2nd pic you posted that shows a very dramatic shot of the bases of the tower cranes!!! Very phenominal!!

Moving along very nicely...

Wow.....it is amazing to acutally see progress. I was wondering, with the length of the spire, will Freedom Tower have broadcasting capability? I remember reading once that the destruction of the WTC seriously hampered television broadcasting. Is the spire on Freedom Tower designed to replace some of this lost capability?

Hello people, Does anyone know if there is an obs deck in #7? I would like to know for the next time I go to the site.
Thanks
Lance

That's correct that there is no observation deck there, but the building does sometimes hold events open to the public. All part of the plan to make the WTC a vital part of the city again...

What does raw space mean? No ceiling panels, floor tiles, walls, rugs or office furniture?

CarlosV · #**1878** Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 7:02 AM**

^
OMG you never the term "raw space"??

it means just that...no partitions, exposed ceiling beams sometimes, bare floors...so you can divide and build the office or residence as you wish basically.......etc

Daquan13 · #**1879** Posted **Sep 30, 2007, 2:15 PM**

I thought that was what it meant, but I wasn't sure. Haha!!

No, that probably was the first time that I ever heard the term used. But I figured it out pretty much by seeing that floor in 7 WTC with no walls or ceiling panels installed.

Thanx for the answer!
