So I will be at the 9/11 site next week, and as promised, I will try and deliver any requests for pictures for 1WTC, 2WTC, 3WTC, 4WTC, Transportation Hub, or anything around the site. So if you have a request please quote this on what you want a picture of.

Edit: Answered my own questions. Check out this cool infographic from ThyssenKrupp: http://www.thyssenkruppelevator.com/...nal_050212.pdf

I distinctly remember the PA spokesman saying it was 1,776 feet above the center of the ground floor. Which is as logical as any other way. Truth be told, does it matter if its really exactly 1,776 feet? Symbols are always part mythology, anyway.

Hunser's last photo is incredible four world trade enter is completely invisible. Its crazy how transparent (reflective) this building is. It really proves how much effort was put into the site the buildings dominate but really make us reflect on that day. The archatects and engeneers did a fantastic job on this site!! Cutos to them!!!!

Please, more pics of T3 (which has seen a lot of progress recently) and the calatrava hub (which is entering its climactic phase of construction now). And post them in the corresponding threads on this site, i.e. not here. T1 is photographically massively overcovered but very few people seem to post pics of those two. The only possible needed thing for T1 is updates and closeups of the plaza level cladding which is now wrapping around away from the memorial facing side.

Haha, and we could use more INTERIOR pics of ALL the buildings - which are about 1% as common as all the exterior shots. If you can manage it without getting arrested.

when they remove the provvisional rings on antenna and put conjunction bars with communication rings?

jmatero · #**32636** Posted **Jun 23, 2013, 4:59 PM**

There's a new "wrap" on the rings. I bet they light that too...

Couple from Washington Rock tonight in South Orange. Too bad it was super cloudy and hazy.

No kidding. It looks like a simplistic render in many of the photos.

bigreach · #**32639** Posted **Jun 24, 2013, 2:55 AM**

Not quite sure who Michael lee is but he's got a fantastic camera.. So I'll give you credit for finding them,, credit Hunser, (from me anyway) those photos are flawless, and seem to be the work of a pro. I would love to know what kind of a camera that is, I'm sure it's thousands of dollars and won't be in Target, or Meijer.
