What did he say that was so wrong?

I was about to ask the same thing. I see nothing wrong with what he said.

New steel has arrived on the site. They were able to erect one column before darkness fell. Its on the north east corner of the floor plan. If they work Sunday, it'll be all erected by Monday morning. Its looks like there are eight girders which will make up 4 new columns.

Great to hear that. I'll make my way down there tomorrow and check it out.

Hey, that's great news to hear!! You did very good, Realthang!

This is probably part of the shipment that is to be delivered between now and sometime during the winter! By this spring, the base of the thing will have sprouted above the streets! I'm so exstatic and pscyched

GS, 7 WTC, meet your next-door neighbor - your big buddy!!

But it just might make TalB green with envy and seeing red.

Who cares anyway? I don't. Haha!! Please take your camera with you, Dac, and post the pics. I'd LOVE to see them!!

Let's all celebrate and have a party!! Where is the SoCo and Rolling Rock? Haha!!

Oh, what the hell, I might as well join the party;

yaaa Woooooooooooo!!!

I know that we are all excited and delighted about this, and I'm not trying to be a jerk, but we don't want to get too carried away with the Smilies, or the mods will again start deleting posts here.

As Gary Coleman used to say in Diff'rent Stroke; "Let's not get crazy."

On that note, I'm just dying to see pics of the additional columns and beams added!

Ghost · #**2133** Posted: **Nov 11, 2007, 5:12 AM**

Here they are (from EarthCam):

Daquan13 · #**2134** Posted: **Nov 11, 2007, 10:07 AM**

Thanks, Ghost!

I see a few of them lying down on the site and along Vesey Street. The one that's been installed looks like it might be an interior column.

The "east-west connector," as Port Authority planners call it, is the main
westward spoke that will emanate from the central hub. Stretching
approximately one-quarter of a mile long, the connector is comprised of three
distinct elements.

On the south side, a solid opaque wall will separate the commercial space of
the connector from the adjacent National 9/11 Memorial. From within the
ADA-accessible concourse, pedestrians also will have direct access into the
base of the Freedom Tower

NOVEMBER 10, 2007

Rising behind the connector (along with Goldman Sachs), the excitement builds...

While people are still complaining about the slow pace of construction, remember
also that, like typical NY construction, both the Goldman Sachs tower and 7 WTC
had similarly slow starts before finally getting that upward push, which we will
begin seeing here in a few months...

The usual suspects at the wintergarden. This shot always reminds me of entering the observation
deck at the World Trade Center...

NOW THAT THE GUYS HAVE MENTIONED IT WHAT DID I SAY WRONG

Daquan13 · #**2138** Posted: **Nov 11, 2007, 3:41 PM**

We don't know. We were trying to figure it out.

Just someone being an instigator, I think.

Dac150 · #**2139** Posted: **Nov 11, 2007, 4:19 PM**

I was down there at 10:00 this morning and the site is looking really good. Just give it a little longer, and the pace of construction will shock you. Considering what has happened at the site between August and now, it has already shocked me.

Daquan13 · #**2140** Posted: **Nov 11, 2007, 7:27 PM**

It should really begin to take off when the framework starts being assembled!
