Great pictures. I really like the way this last one shows the detail with the floors that are above the height of 7WTC. Is that picture from the Rock or ESB?

Has it surpassed the Empire State Bldg in height?.. it looks so from this recent increase in height.

About 5' to go till 1,250' The top row of beams are for floor 100 or 1,240' + the splices for the columns another 5 feet on that.

Good pictures Carlos! 7WTC is 842' to the splices and 135' to the top of the parapet. 1WTC is 1,244' to splices and 124' to the top of the parapet.

My guess is in order for the 100th floor to continue they have to raise core columns again so that should bring the Tower higher than the ESB once that happens and then new perimeter columns in the days ahead that will bring the Tower up to the 102nd floor.

If anything I'm sure fast food places will likely be up there because they would need to use an entire floor to do a Windows on the World type of restaurant and I rather have three observation levels than a restaurant taking up that space. If anything they can put restaurants in the concourse area.

They could, also eventually put a restaurant on the upper floors of the other towers, if and when they get around to building the damn things, even if it isn't in tower #1.

Ever sit right next to a 1,000+ foot shear vertical wall? The wind by itself will discourage loitering.

Exactly why the original Austin Tobin Plaza was never full, or it was completely deserted of people.
