When the last height jumps happen this buildings is REALLY going to come into its own then, it will truly be a supertall then! The final roof height will be just below where the tips of the roof cranes reach now, I think

How come when you go to NYs diagram page, it says that Hudson Yards ER 2 is supposed to be taller than 1wtc? Is it just an error?

Ok,we're currently at the 93rd floor on One World Trade Center,glass is half way up but still no signs of a NatGeo or maybe even a Discovery special about this building.Is there a reason for that and once the roof tops off,will it make national news at best?This is the most amazing building I've ever seen(in par with old WTC)yet nothing announced on TV about it.CBS,as far as remember did a 60 minute special about the construction of the old WTC.

For one, we don't know if NatGeo or Discovery is currently filming an episode about this big beast. I already mentioned I hoped they had a "Megastructures" episode about it.

Also, yes. There will be news articles galore about it once it tops off (and when it opens).

Well the famous OLD 80's documentary about the old complex was released in the 1980's, a full decade after the completion. Don't be surprised if documentaries about the new WTC start coming out in the 2020's, or even after the FULL complex is complete. Although I'm sure a documentary will be released about 1 WTC earlier. Steven Speilberg just did the Rising Rebuilding WTC show, which was really good. But I'd love a documentary once everything is said and done.

The documentaries will definately come out when the tower is finishes, or shortly before, I feel pretty sure of that. Because of the historical significance of the site, what happened there, and the rebuilding, the topping out and spire hoisting will get plenty of news coverage, long before the building even opens. Give it a couple or few more months, and there will be tons of news and documentaries about 1wtc, I'd wager.

They already have made a documentary about that...research before you make more wasted posts
He was asking if there was anyone CURRENTLY filming a documentary.

Why are some people so harsh on this message board? We're just talking about skyscrapers here people, not social/political issues.

Hey everybody, I'm new here! I've been following this thread for months now and I finally decided to register. Anyway, sorry if this has been answered already but does anybody know why the tower has not been lit recently? It's been almost completely dark these past nights and I was curious as to why that is. Thanks!

Steel's going again, what about the rest?

When are the fireproofing and facade teams going to get started again?? I feel like the black netting has mushroomed as steel progresses, but that the rest of the building teams have been in this perpetual purgatory of inaction. I'm making these observations solely on photos, so maybe there's more going on behind the scenes that isn't changing the outward appearance of the tower, but it's starting to get annoying...

I noticed that the tower was lit red the last two nights after switching back to normal after honoring cardinal Dolan. Any reason why?

They aren't going to start again until the tower reaches high enough for the black netting to be removed. It is going to take a while before we see any progress.

I am certain they are removing the red wrappings for the lights.

Maybe they extended the honoring period, or they aren't done removing the red lights.
