No, 7 WTC is the tower partially cut off at the far right, and the Deutche Bank building the stubby black box to the left of it.

yep that's 1 Liberty not seven World Trade. From the very vantage point the photographer is standing at you will see the entire complex of the World Trade. 1 World Trade Center in this picture would only be slightly cut off at the very right end of this picture. A pano from here in a few+ years including Jc+ Brooklyn and all their projects will be something.

I have a suspicion that many people who dislike the FT based on the small renderings will have a change of heart once it's actually built and it towers over them, all 1776 ft. of it. I mean, people who never got to see the original Twin Towers must have no idea what it really was like to see them in real life (not implying this refers to you, GR2NY). Seeing a small picture just isn't the same. Same will be true of the FT. An actual building will be a lot more impressive than just a drawing. (And, this isn't even taking into account all of the other buildings going up around the FT, all of which will be pretty tall and impressive in their own right.) |
I was one of the ones who never got the chance to see the Twins up close or even go inside either of them. I always saw them from a distance in a car or bus.
I'm planning to visit the Freedom Tower and it's obs deck when it opens. To see what I missed when the Twins stood there. The restaurant also, if it opens to the general public. When WOTW was in the North Tower, it was open only to the priveliged few who could afford it, mainly the employees of the WTC! I hope that won't be the case this time around. And I'll visit the mall as well. |

And even if the Freedom Tower DIDN'T have the spire, it would STILL be taller than the ESB because it's the just about the same height as the old Twins.

Great find!!
The first video was of Maculay Culkin when he visited the WTC in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. I also watched the helicopter ride over the city. And those horrible videos of the attack on the WTC. There once was a documentory aired on Flight 11, up to and including a Mohamad Atta look-alike in the "cockpit". |
one thing , no other obs. deck will ever top W.T.C. , even BD will have a joke of a deck 3/4 from the top,,I just hope this new F/T will have the same outdoor deck as W.T.C. DID:skyscraper:
|
As we are seeing the tower's construction progress move right along, to this day, we still have yet to find out the real truth on that one.
I hope there will be one also, but as far as that goes, the chances of it ever happening look slim and none.:skyscraper: |
Seems like the core is taking it's shape!

Kinda looks like a middle finger :)
|
One of the first ideas after 9/11 was to rebuild the World Trade Center with the tallest building in the middle, as a hint to any anti-American enemy in the middle east and elsewhere.

That could mean that the steel is now above street level.

I have a good feeling this thing is gonna start moving at a brisk pace.
