For the second day in a row, chunks of ice fell from the Freedom Tower — but this time streets remained open and Port Authority officials didn’t close the nearby PATH station.
Instead, pedestrians had to fend for themselves, scurrying for cover about 11 a.m. Saturday in the shadow of the nation’s tallest building.
“We just saw ice falling down the building,” said startled Austrian tourist Katharina Amann, 24, who is visiting the city with her family. “It was scary. Then I heard it shatter.”
Ice also fell from 7 World Trade Center, which is 52 stories tall, some chunks even bouncing off the building’s awning.

Y'all be careful out there.
Why does it say World Trade Center?
I think it must be a controlled de icing they were doing strange things when they first opened it
Reminds me of when I was going to University in Boston in the late ‘60s and the streets around the new John Hancock Tower had to be partially closed off because the windows kept popping out. Took quite a period of time to get a fix in place.
I thought that a World Trade mosque was being constructed.
a moose bit my sister once
It looks chopped off on the top, and has an antenna that looks like a moslem minaret.

I think they call it: “One World Trade Center” in honor of the Chinese.
I’m so old, I remember when we knew how to build things.
I wonder how long that tower will stand before it is knocked down by jihadists just to show America that it is vunerable.
Perhaps we should become more submissive than we already are. We should show more fear so as to appease the muzzies.
