Breathtaking video shows installation of final section of the World Trade Center spire as it's fastened to America's tallest building
A camera attached to the bottom of One World Trade Center's highest component has provided dizzying footage from the top of New York City's tallest building.
The final section of the spire, adorned with an American flag, was lifted by crane to the top of the skyscraper on Friday.
A GoPro camera mounted near its base documented the careful rise of the iron piece, as dozens of construction workers watched in awe.

I’m so focused on real political and economic news that I had no idea they had started construction yet. Seriously.
Saved me a lot anticipatory angst. ;-)
One World Trade Center gets spire, bringing it to its full 1,776-foot height
Carter II's ongoing attack on America has taken the attention of many of us, sadly not enough to have prevented his re-installation in a second term. If more people had been focused on the things you have been, perhaps America could be looking forward to healing itself now instead of more grief.
"..don't ask..I'm not allowed on anything higher than 8ft
awwww.... I’m thinking that kitteh would not feel comfortable as a high steel construction worker.
It looks like a Minaret
I know it’s called the Freedom Tower but it’s really 1 World Trade Center. I love that name because it replaces the destroyed tower in name and location. Meanwhile, the Ground Zero mosque limps along, never achieving any of its evil missions.
