Hi Guys,

They should issue everyone walking over the Brooklyn Bridge a can of WD-40.

That last shot is incredible.

This is going to be one incredibly reflective tower as already seen by the installed panels.

How tall is the tower right now?...I'm guessing around 180-190 meters. If it's halfway done with 54 floors complete it would be 210 meters, but it seems way shorter than 7 WTC (228.6) at the moment.

52 floors is half of 104 floors but it is no where near half of 1,368'. This Tower is not metric but I will be glad to convert for our friends who do not live in the US. (One of the only countries in the world who do not use the metric system.)
The 52nd floor is 641' 10" or 195 meters. (Current top of steel.) The Tower will be 416.966 meters to the top of the parapet. The 104th floor is 1,313' 10" or 400.3 meters. I have several programs with Imperial to metric converters but here is a link to a good one online. (It goes both ways, AC DC, lol.) http://www.worldwidemetric.com/measurements.html All of this is made more difficult by the PA system of elevation, I have to subtract 311' 2" from what ever is shown on the prints. (The elevation of the finished Lobby floor.) |

Totally loving the way the light shines off that steel. I'd be more worried about being blinded by the building rather than the snow!
|
^^^I'm thinking its a built in snow melting death ray:D

Looking at the wtc7 cam view, looks like we will have steel very soon.
*Insert jaws music* Watch out WTC7! |
