the verizon building is 498 feet tall, so leats round it too 500 feet tall. so 3 more floors left and tower 1v2 . it will be the same height as the verizon building.

Aside from the scale (which will still be amazing in person), from this angle number 4 will be virtually in front of 1 WTC, blocking most of it :/ I neurotically researched it lol! Mind you, the view will still be pretty nice.

The view a little further south on Pier One of Brooklyn Bridge Park will look much more like that, but the Beekman will be out of the cluster.

Not true. The closest anything will come to blocking the Freedom Tower will be Tower 2. So back to research you go..

Quote:

A Oregon company is getting ready to ship out what will soon become a symbol of freedom and resilience at the Ground Zero site in New York.

Benson Industries was awarded a contract to construct the frame for the 'Freedom Tower' that will stand as a 9-11 memorial.

KOIN's Tim Gordon reports from the manufacturing plant-- where workers have acquired a special bond with the project.

Shots from the clip:

OMG! The day has finally come. That's so awesome. The construction site has gotten that much more exciting now!

Pbellamy · #**10208** Posted **Oct 2, 2010, 7:42 PM**

That is great.. The next few weeks are going to see a lot of us cameras in hand recording this.

So looking forward to seeing this stage of construction...

Actually, from that view, tower 2 perfectly blocks 1. Also, all of the towers are hideously out of proportion and too tall in that graphic anyway.

Do you have any elevations of the final spire/antenna ring design?

Onn · #**10213** Posted **Oct 3, 2010, 2:39 AM**

Yes, finally!!! Can't wait to see it go up! 1WTC will actually start looking like a real skyscraper now!

I think the top floor is 1333 and the roof is 1368 (I guess the glass curtain), because I know the catwalks or the ring go up to over 1400 feet...

But I could be wrong
