Looked pretty serious for a second, but all seems fine now... Those 250 watt bulbs get hot, maybe it was a brief flare from some of that holiday cellophane getting to close to a bulb??? or just some steam from concrete pouring??? It is frigid today.

We would have certainly heard in the news if a fire did break out, but a bit scary photo nonetheless.

Did you save the picture??? They usually only do that about once a month or so, and it's already been moved back to its normal position.

ditto, that's the kind of smoke you would see if a fuel truck exploded, definitely didn't look normal.

^ That's a pretty epic render right there, STR. Add a slight reflection in the glass, and it easily passes for the real thing.

^It's always reflecting, just in this case it's empty sky, which doesn't lend much detail beyond color and a slight gradient.

Freedom Tower Transformed Into A Christmas Tree
Worker Decides To Bring Holiday Cheer To Solemn Place


December 9, 2010

Quote:
Construction workers rebuilding the World Trade Center site have given a holiday gift to us all.

He’s electrician from Staten Island who said he’s just a “regular Joe” who wanted to bring some cheer to the people.

So on his own time – and with his own money — Joe Russo started decorating One World Trade — better known as the Freedom Tower.

“The building was just white lights. I wanted to make it look like a Christmas Tree. Put some cellophane around it,” Russo told CBS 2’s Magee Hickey.

“He asked if it was okay and I said sure, go with it. And we did. First we had to run it by the big guy, the foreman that is over me. And he said outstanding. Away we went,” electric foreman Gary Timm added.

So, 250 lights on 20 floors now are covered with red, green, yellow and blue cellophane and scotch tape, costing $100 from Russo’s own pocket. It took him 10 extra hours working in frigid temperatures. It was a labor of love appreciated by all those who work here.

“It gives you a lot of pride, a lot of pride to be working where we are and doing what we’re doing here, something special,” foreman Frank Leonard said.

And to one retired firefighter who lost his firefighter son on 9/11, the Christmas lights on the Freedom Tower are one more reminder that his son, along with thousands of others, is not forgotten.

“Many of whom were here on 9/11. This is their way of saying we remember, sending a special message to everybody with beautiful colors. It brings a tear to my eye. I say thank you to you and your crew,” Lee Ielpi said.

Regular lights covered with cellophane and tape? This isn't a fire hazard?

Very, very, very early interior shot of the lobby, with parts of the concourse visible. Missing: escalators, handrails and parts of the core.

I like how they built basically a moat to separate the tourists from everyone else.

All those brackets on the 20th floor spandrel beams are to support the monorail for the base window washing scafold.
