Otie that is what i think also. The top row of beams behind the blue cocoon are for floor 104 at 1,313' and the beams at the core just above them were for 104M at 1,323' In the last picture from Carlos it looks like the beams at the core and the ones that went in on Monday have mounts on them that stick up above the beam to install future vertical steel. I do want to see the corner node installed so we can see the roof line elevation. Could someone put arrows on a picture of the top and put the floor#s with them.104-104M

What??? Why No news coverage??

If it's really topped out, then perhaps they don't want anyone to know because of the antenna spire.

Puzzlecraft · #**24904** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 6:03 AM**

The ceremony at 4 WTC was when the very last piece of steel went in, not the first piece of steel at the top.

It's topped out!!!!!!! Yay!!

Now bring on the crappy antenna so we can move on with our lives.

It's not topped, 105 or the parapet haven't even been put up yet.

Still need the parapet.

All of this started when some troll said the tower was topped out. He posted the exact same comment on 432 park.

Dallas Snob · #**24909** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 3:21 PM**

Come on guys, we all know that topping out is when the last piece of steel is put into place on the superstructure and a tree is placed on it. That hasnt happened yet.

chris123678 · #**24910** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 3:29 PM**

Again you guys, the 105th floor and the parapet need to be completed.

sw5710 · #**24911** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 3:41 PM**

Is it just me or does anyone see splices or mounting points on the top beams for vertical steel?

Official topping out per the parameters we use on this website will occur when cladding reaches the top of the parapet.

If that picture is up to date, the steel should be the decking of 104th. Does the 105th get a decking? Or is it only the floor the parapet starts on? If first, it shouldnt be topped out yet. But if not,.. it might has reached it structural height...

Since this is my first post after years of reading only I'ld like to use it to appreciate the effort you put into this site! Thank you for amazing updates, amazin views of beautiful citiscapes, developments and everything around it and last but not least for sharing your opinion!

yea i thought that to

chris123678 · #**24919** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 7:14 PM**

Correct me If I'm wrong, but 105 is the roof, so it will be decked. It has to be decked,to support the antenna.

NewYorker2009 · #**24920** Posted **Jul 10, 2012, 7:49 PM**

105 will be decked and poured with concrete. Then the mast will be installed from there but if you look at how slowly things have been moving lately who knows when the Tower will reach it's structural height.
