Freedom Tower to overtake Empire State Building

The tower being erected at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan is currently nine feet from rising above the Empire State Building. NBC’s Brian Williams reports.

nine feet? Six feet? ugh this is really annoying everybody is saying something different

And in case you didn't see it, sorry if you did, but I really want people to understand this photo I took- thanks

As of now....I heard on NBC news last night that 1 WTC is only 6 feet from taking over the Empire State Building as the tallest building in NY.

Does anyone know if the safety netting will be up by thursday?

hunser · #**22005** Posted **Apr 3, 2012, 5:15 PM**

NBC and others are finally catching up... fellow forumer alan informed us about some two weeks ago that 1WTC is 1,244'.
Nice shot Carlos, can't wait till cladding resumes this month.

Lol this why I never listen to the media. They are usually behind and they rarely ever get their facts straight such as saying the tower being topped out by 2014 when we all know it will be 1,776 feet or whatever by the end of the year hopefully.

Outer beams are being installed now.

Hellz to the yes!

Beams usually go pretty quick, hopefully decking and fireproofing goes fast as well. I can't wait until I can officially call the World Trade Center the tallest building in New York once again.

More cross-beams added per Earthcam 5 minutes ago:

There are many misinformed people that come to the World Trade Center and spew random facts that aren't true. I really get frustrated when I visit the site and see the stupidity of the people walking about.

Ah yes and by the way it just hit 100 floors.

Hasn't it been 100 floors? or officially full floor you mean

sw5710 · #**22013** Posted **Apr 3, 2012, 11:30 PM**

Floor 100 has no beams yet.

Cool. It's finally at the level of the Beekman from the East river. Judging by this, it will at least have some dominance.

It's already petty dominant. From most vantage points, it's extra dominant on the lower Manhattan skyline, a reminder for people who've already forgotten what was lost down there.

I know we've been through this topic before, but when will the podium glass be installed?

Originally the Port Authority said 2013 but it seems possible that it might be installed sooner than we thought, but that remains to be seen.

1WTC has been all over the News websites lately,and last night it was on NBC.
