I definitely will make it my business to be there on the waterfront for this. I've been waiting a long time for the topping out. About time.

You always have some of the most amazing photography of this building so I'm expecting beautiful work from you! Don't let us down! Just kidding, have fun, you'll be witnessing history.

Things have come a long way from when there was just a hole in the ground. There is still a lot more to do, but order is almost restored.

Yeah, I'll be watching on tv. I have to be in the city, but not that early.

I was reading somewhere that they were supposed to put a metal coating on the mast, but didn't because it will take a while before broadcasting equipment is finalized. They just raised it as is for the meantime.

I don't understand how you're not seeing it. The radome itself is not just a "sheet" thrown over to hide the mast, but is the design element itself. It's what replaced the open lattice design. There is a BIG difference in that, and why it has been called into question. The radome and the mast are two different things.

It boggles my mind that people see this as the same thing.

Am I the only one concerned here, that 1 World Trade Center isn't on the hull of NCL newest ship, Norwegian Breakaway? I mean its supposed to represent NY right?

Also, really quick, let me introduce myself. I've been lurking in this thread for a few years now, and haven't posted all that much. I'm Trevor, I live in Memphis, TN. I guess that's all anyone wants to know, haha.

Oh...and don't worry, I won't go on endless rants about the spire or base.

I am pretty sure for the Central Time Zone it is still live, so that would be 6 AM Central.

Hate to break it to the CTBUH - and lightning rod fans, for that matter- but their opinions about the 1,776 foot height of the Freedom Tower are absolutely irrelevant. Guidebooks & TV shows & the public will forever know this tower is the 1,776 foot one.
