The ring looks like too much "skeleton", without the dishes...

Those white dishes are microwave dishes and they may be grey in real world. I am unaware of any deals yet by Durst/PA with anyone for microwave dishes. They will be installed by each lessee when they do a deal, so don't expect it to look like renderings. For example some one may want a dish pointing to Vernon valley satellite farm, so 1 or 2 will go in on west side.

4 sections as in the other 3 sides? Because it looks like that whole side is done. Also do you know the deal with this spire? What's their projected finish date for it now??

4 sections is 1 side, we are being impacted so much by wind, it is hard to predict when you lose hours each day. The weather has been so harsh this year. We would like to get the rest of spire up this month, if only mother nature cooperates, then finish rest of rings, guy the tower by june and start taking temporary steel down etc.

I think for a lot of people 1WTC, and the new WTC as a whole, is like remarrying after your first wife was murdered after almost 30 years of marriage. Is she as special as the first? No, at least not yet. Is she flawed? Yes. Could you have done better? Maybe. But she is also quite lovely, and in a subtle way reminds you of your previous wife. She is there to help you heal, and she is someone new to love. She didn't exactly turn out the way we thought she would or how we thought she should have, but she is still beautiful and she is still special.

Does anybody know the day and time when the final spire/beacon section will be lifted?

I've lived in NYC for over two years now, but I'd never been up any of its skyscrapers until today. It was one of the most surreal experiences, like looking at an enormous, detailed photograph.

I can't wait to see 1 WTC from this height when it's finished. That perfectly triangular wedge of light will be incredible!

^ Nice photo. I think it's time I've paid my dues again to the Top of the Rock (my fav deck). The revelation on the new WTC deck has me excited for the decks again.

this tower more is close to its completion, more appears powerful in looking, as well as elegant.
Perfect job
