WOW! Does anyone know why the World Trade Center is red!?

Look at previous posts first..:tup:

Technically this beacon will be the highest visible source of a building in the entire world, since the exact "visible" light will be approximately 3,087 feet, hundreds of feet over the Burj Khalifa

I wish I could see it in person. It must be breathtaking.

WOW!!!!!! That's way more red than the red/white/blue they did at 1 WTC for 9/11 when I was there in September. That's gorgeous!

Alan's post says it all...:haha:

That's my favorite lighting so far. It's way more red than i expected. I would think it would take wicked long to get all the lighting done but it seems like it was pretty quick.

Rep. Grimm Applauds PANYNJ’s Decision to Light One WTC in Red for Cardinal Dolan

PA steps up to honor a hometown hero, after Empire State Building denies the request

NEW YORK, NY – Today, Rep. Michael G. Grimm (R,C-S.I./Brooklyn) applauded the decision of the Port Authority’s Executive Director Patrick Foye to light One World Trade Center in red to honor the elevation of Archbishop Dolan to cardinal. After Rep. Grimm’s request to light up the Empire State Building - which is traditionally lit to honor various causes and individuals - was denied yesterday by the building’s Lighting Partner Committee, the congressman made a similar request to the Port Authority. The Port Authority has agreed to light One World Trade Center – at no cost to the agency - beginning tonight, February 24th, for one week.

“Giving up is not in my DNA. Where there is a will there is a way, and One WTC is even more appropriate as a symbol of hope, courage and the bright future of New York, all of which Cardinal Dolan exemplifies,” said Grimm. “I applaud the Port Authority’s decision to step up and honor our hometown hero by lighting One Word Trade Center in cardinal red. This illumination will not just serve as a celebration of Cardinal Dolan, but of all our city’s heroes. It is an opportunity for all of us to honor the lives and bravery of those we lost, and to show our pride for a local leader who has given so much to the people of New York with his faith and charity.”

Upon its completion, One World Trade Center will become the tallest building in New York City, standing at 1,776 feet. It will have a public observation deck on the 100th and 101st floors for all to enjoy the view of city. The building’s construction has been moving at a pace of about a floor a week, and the steel construction has been completed to the 92nd floor as of today.

How many times does this need to be said : It's vertical. It shines Upwards. That's how people are going to see it from miles away.

How is that figure calculated?

1787' (beginning of beacon structure, add a couple of feet for the top) + 1300' = 3087'. Although I'm not sure where the 1300 figure comes from... :shrug:

3,087' to the top of the visible beam you see? The light beam on top of the luxor in Vegas its a solid beam for several miles above the hotel. That has been the brightest most visible light for 19 years. 1 WTC 93rd floor or 1,216' splices included.
