WT1 is growing fast!!!! Can you imagine what it'll look like in April 2012?!??

I thought they heated that water if it got below 59-61F? I guess they learn as they go with this new massive feat of engineering... no one can predict how two massive fountains will react to temps and winds...

They need to raise the temp to probably 84F because as it flows out the top, and air hits it, it loses all its heat falling.. increase the temp to overpower the air sheering loss.

Amazing to see though.. they have workers down on the south tower footprint breaking the ice up.

That Ice can have a really REALY bad effect on the tiles and the weight compression.. They'll get it fixed. just trial and error, as these are MASSIVE.
Many people just don't comprehend how large those footprints are. And a few people that come to NYC and went in, and saw for the first time, just how large the pools are, begin crying.. because then it hits them how large the towers were.. :(

Happy Holidays to all our members here, our Iron workers and other builders at WTC site!! You are our foundation. :cheers:

Yes, I actully have that same page with the webcam on it save to my Favorate. I love seeing the live cam. That's how I get on here. I go to the page & that's the first one I see, & then I go to thhe last page to see what the new updates are. I remember the first time I saw that webcam, I fell in love with it. Everyday since then, I check it out to see the view & what's going on down at the site. Thanks for posting that a long time ago! :-) :tup:

Skyline

Home in Ringwood, NJ from Wyoming for Christmas break and went on a hike I love. I might have ruined my ankle on a boulder, but the views were worth it. Ringwood's 25-30 miles from the city. That's the Wanaque Reservoir in the foreground.

And people say Jersey is ugly. Quite beautiful if I say so myself.

PS: The 2-mile (and very steep) round trip trail begins at the Weis Ecology Center in Ringwood and the lookout is called Wyanokie High Point, if anybody wants to go on a nice hike sometime.

I thought the water was to be heated so the falls stayed open all year round?

The New York skyline looks like a great medieval walled city in that shot!

WOAH! What a brilliant point!

How come this has never come up for discussion before??? :rolleyes:

Brilliant pics as always, Carlos. Looks like Winer has finally arrived in NY. Can't wait to see the site covered in a nice blanket of snow!;););)
