I’m guessing there ain’t much wind during this lift. And, who is/are the guy/guys that get to bolt it in place at the top? And, who gets to change the light bulbs? Probably no big deal for the experienced guys but for me it’s a 10x pucker factor.

12 YEARS after 911? What a joke. And we leave holes in the ground where the old towers were? Also a joke. We should’ve built two new towers DIRECTLY OVER the spot where the old buildings were. THAT would’ve said more than leaving two holes in the ground for Muslims to drool into. Every aspect of post-911 has been handled incorrectly. Oh, by the way, how’s that XL Keystone pipeline coming along? Over 4 YEARS and no decision yet? WE ARE WEAK.

Am I too late, or too early? There is no coverage. Just an annoying computer generated “tune.”

And they should have used to orignal plans and made them look exactly like they did.
