Ground Zero was still smoldering when plans were hatched to rebuild where the twin towers once stood - and show Osama Bin Laden we were not broken.
Nothing rose from The Pit in the first years after the tragedy. Workers collected bodies. Mourners wept. And New York's scar, the nation's scar, remained an open wound.
By 2004, the rubble was cleared and construction workers descended down the ramp that rescue workers once used to bring up the living and the dead.
Five years later, nearly a dozen construction cranes could be seen rising from soil...
Now the Freedom Tower, the $3.2 billion, 1,776-foot answer to the terrorists, has reached the 36th floor.
A pair of iconic steel tridents that stood watch over the ruins for many months have made a triumphant return.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
uhmmm who did that rendering?? must have forgotten that 7 WTC is NOT there...
P.S. if they build anything at all next to 1 WTC, would they rename it 6 WTC???...
It really is amazing how much progress they have made over the past year. Considering how about a year ago, many thought none of this would be done with the next 5-6 years.
Not to sound calace, but I have a hard enough time avoiding the news let alone people drilling in 9/11 evey year to bring it all back home. Please keep anything related to the Twin Towers in the appropriate thread!!!

Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!! So is the glass really going to look like the rendering here? And is WTC2 really going to have opaque tops to diamond roofs? Boy I hope so...some of the older renderings have me worried.
This represents the start of activities to support the placement of curtain wall above the 20th story level of 1WTC. Beginning activity will include the installation of hangers on the 1WTC structural steel and be followed by the placement of the curtain wall panels themselves. The curtain wall will enclose the building and trail the Cocoon system as it rises with the erection of the Structural steel.

That's what I'm wondering myself. I've seen renders with the glass for 1WTC being grey, sliver, light blue, soft green, soft green/blue (depending on the light) and now this render seems to show dark blue. Does anyone know for sure what color is going to be? This is the "supposed" mock-up, but I think it's from years ago. I guess who knows what the final product is going to look like.
Like that^^^, but you can tell its color will greatly depend on natural light just like 7 WTC. It would have been nice if someone had shot that photo with the sun high in the air that day.
can i expect glass next week? i mean its getting pretty tall...

Right, I agree. The picture is taken kind of in the shadows. It looks green to me, but I guess a neutral blue might be closer. We'll see. I think 7WTC's glass is wavier, this looks very clear.
