some news, some photos, some cr*p, some good stuff.

Found the following news snippets;

Engineering news on 19th Feb reports a possible start to curtain construction in May, and is the first(?) report that building completion may extend past Dec 2008.

A claim that the opening has been delayed until June 2009. Plus a couple of photos that I have not seen yet.....

This blog shows a render - possibly featured on this thread a long time ago, the difference here is that the render seems to show BD at approx 14km high!

A thread which includes many photos by Imre, but a new one 'linking' an aerial photo to a render which I thought was pretty cool, and had not seen before.
