Finally picked up that special edition Time magazine piece on the Freedom Tower. Interesting reading, nice foldouts inside. Worth the pick up.

New video shot by Freedom Tower jumpers surfaces
The footage, taken from a camera strapped to jumper Marko Markovich's head, reveals the stunning city view he and his fellow plungers saw and the nervous minutes before the fall.

The last of three videos shot by a team of skilled base jumpers who parachuted from atop the Freedom Tower in September was released Monday.

The footage, taken from a camera strapped to jumper Marko Markovich's head, reveals the stunning city view he and his fellow plungers saw and the nervous minutes before the fall.

"This is some f------ s--- right here," Markovich can be heard saying.

"Go ahead, man you got this," a pal encouraged.

"This is so f-----," the jittery jumper added.

Markovich, 27, WTC ironworker James Brady, 32, and fellow thrill-seeker Andrew Rossig, 33, are due in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday to be arraigned on an indictment over the matter — the first of two incidents to expose a lack of security at the potential terrorist target.

If you can dodge a skyscraper, you can dodge a ball

WTC parachutists: We spent 4 hours atop tower

Quote:
Three skydivers say they spent about four hours atop 1 World Trade Center before parachuting off it in a stunt that raised questions about security at the skyscraper and left them facing felony charges.

James Brady, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig mentioned the four-hour timeframe in court papers Tuesday. They acknowledge making the Sept. 30 jump but pleaded not guilty to burglary and other charges.
They were arrested last month, shortly after a teenager was accused of climbing the as-yet-unfinished tower.

The incidents have spurred concerns about how tightly the security-conscious trade center is actually protected. The teen and the parachutists say they got in through holes in the perimeter fence.
Site owner the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey hasn't immediately responded to an inquiry.

Wow the base has such a large presence on the street, it's massive and it's only the bottom of the building.

Yeah. I calculated that it's roughly 225 feet from sea level. The base is about 1/9 of the building. The rest is structural floors, and the mast.


Here are more pictures from today. I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park today.

Just a question..

1WTC is expected to replace the ESB as the telecommunication tower for broadcasting companies.

Antennas will be installed on the top of 1WTC.

However, I would like to know if those antennas will be installed on the ring only, or also on the spire??

The spire is NOT an antenna, there is no electronic equipment at all inside it. So, if antennas will be installed on the spire, where exactly will it be?

thanks

On the spire. I don't have a diagram on me, but about 2/3+ the way up the spire there are holes to bolt equipment onto.

Antennas will attach to the middle portion of the spire and communication dishes will be installed into communication dishes.

Why ask a question only to provide your own answer?

The mast will have broadcast equipment. There isn't anything there now because they won't begin installing those things for another year or so.
