We are for sure at the 100th floor now. I believe the current height is 1240', which comes to 378m so your estimate is correct on that one. (please correct me if I'm wrong on current height!) The next jump should have 1 WTC passing ESB as the tallest building in NYC.
Via the WTC Progress webcam, they've started cladding the south side of 1 WTC (see here: http://oxblue.com/open/panynj/wtc). That is awesome, because the last 3 days had them cladding the north side -- the side that is visible in the shots that Carlos takes. They've been fast, too - I checked the cam an hour ago and they hadn't started yet! They already have 1/2 of that side cladded now.
Could someone maybe post a rendering with 1WTC as it is now, with the remaining floors superimposed at the top, just to give a good visual representation of how much we have left to go? Thanks!

Does anyone else think this shot sort of looks like instead of the current design, they chose to sort of rebuild the twins, just a lot more separated from each other. 1WTC looks very boxy in this because you can't see the details and you can't see the setback on 4wtc so it looks like a twin just going up slower.

Floor 100 is 1,240' 2'' + the column splices bring it to 1,244' above the lobby just 6' lower then the point where the ESBs broadcast tower mounts above the 102nd floor at 1,250'

so can you please remind me the current situation ? i.e:
! actually it seems that the tower is now around 380 meters-tall, no ?
Haven't been around for some time.
