Yeah... I just can't imagine how they can operate when they are so close!

Ok, I think I can see it. Had to enlarge the pic to get a much closer look. Can't quite make it out, but it IS there.

It's being put right next to the first crane, which appears to be set up and ready to be used.

Yes, they'll be hopping their way up with the tower.

If so, I gotta go there one of these days to check it out myself.
I think this is a beautiful design.

Everything's dangerous, but they know what they are doing. This will be exciting to watch. But it's just one tower. What will we do when the others start rising early next year?....

We'll sit back and watch them all join the party and soar into the sky - including Tower 5 whenever it gets going. It'll be fun! They should all be opening for business not too long after Tower 1 does.

I was quite surprised to see the base for that second crane (sorry, I must've not been paying attention when that was discussed.) I'm also more than a little surprised to see them that close together. This should really speed construction if you can stage material on the North and South side of the tower. Very exciting stuff.
