^^ The building adjacent to AIG is 60 Wall Street. And the black- yellow dotted building is the William Beaver House.

Ooh, tiny columns. What are those, about ten feet? This must be in preparation for the pre-fab nodes to be installed on the corners.

Hi everybody, I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum real quick - I've been following this thread for over a year now, but just recently decided to make an account. I have a pretty good view of the WTC outside my building, and since there are some people on here who might not live in the city, I thought I'd contribute to the thread in some way by sharing my view outside my building. Here's my own Carlos-style photo:

Also, I'm an EMT with the New York City Fire Department, and a friend took this photo last year during the Towers of Light tribute that I thought you might like. I apologize if it doesn't really belong here, but I think you guys might get a kick out of it - I really like the way this photo turned out:

Thanks for reading.

So why do these columns look so different?

They are shorter than the other mechanical floor columns by 3'-5'. That is why it looks shorter.

They are also not sitting directly over the other perimeter steel, take a close look they are offset and seem to be sitting inwards a few feet. These are totally different....waiting for someone like Otie to explain better
