I went specifically to the 175G section of the site and they show the two pics of the X'ed out building plus a night shot, i.e. the same ones we see here. All well and good I suppose.
But as I said, I want to see commentary from the people on that site who are actually responsible for updating newsfeeds. I haven't seen anything of that sort...and the fact that we haven't
yet seems all the more curious to me as time goes by...and I'm not willing to give this site a free pass on the strength of renderings alone.
Any changes in a skyscraper's design, proposed or otherwise, are usually shown in accompaniment with the article that reports on them. Such was the case when they remodeled 175G's base to accommodate the trading floors. Back then we had a clear-cut case in which both story and supporting illustration were on the same figurative page.
Not so here. If anything, the story about the X braces being scrapped really should've come
first; this would take less time to make viral than *any* rendering. There just seems to me a disturbing lack of coordination on the journalistic side.
