with this angle from where you were shooting, i think this is the best evidence so far of the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan's skyline

imagine that 4WTC will be just about exactly as tall as what 1WTC is in this picture

Nice Otie.
I don't think those floor connections can be more than 50 times as strong as in the original towers.

update/edit:
a few minutes on google and i've answered my own question...
http://www.pobonline.com/Articles/Co...100000f932a8c0
"Most of the work in New York City, however, is tied to a specific borough datum. In Manhattan for example, the Manhattan vertical datum is 2.75' above mean sea level at Sandy Hook. Transit Authority vertical datum is 100.1' above the Manhattan vertical datum. Similarly, the Port Authority vertical datum is 297.347' above NGVD 29. The Transit Authority and Port Authority, with tunnels well below sea level, use these datums so engineers and surveyors can work in positive numbers."

Hi Jay.

That article is worded incorrectly.
The port authority vertical datum, elevation 0 is 297.37 feet below NGVD 1929. Similarly the transit VD is 100 feet below the Manhattan VD. That is how their deep tunnels stay in positive numbers.

^Yep, though to be clear, the spire isn't "at +2087'-2". The beacon is at that height. The spire terminates 8' higher than that, per the diagram.
