Are there two people in that cab ? . . Can't tell . .
It does look that way. I'm also a little surprised that the operator is just wearing a wife beater. I mean, I recognize it's a construction site but he's probably making $100k+/yr (some make as much as $500k!) and he can't be bothered to wear a real shirt at least?
it's funny seein' that numbskull construction thug . .
wearin' a white tanktop-tee in the tower-crane cab . .
(in NY guy's Mar 20th post above) . .
I know I know . . he's really smart & he makes lots of dough . .
for sure ! . . I just wonder if he's still gonna be in there . .
when this baby's 1300 feet up in the air ? . .
then he'll be a smart rich BRAVE construction thug . .
Are there two people in that cab ? . . Can't tell . .
If I was that crane guy, I'd be playing this song as I'm lifting the steel.
He's building the towers where many TPS reports will be talked about.
yeah . . liftin' steel in your wife beater . .
now that'd be a feeling . . Pure power . .
'til ya drop a big gnarly one 40 stories . .
guess you wouldn't want to chance a cufflink . .
gettin' caught in a gear . .
get a load of that eye-catching rad crane party above . .
3 white - 3 red - 3 yellow . . it's happenin' . .
severe construction-site aesthetic . .
some of the white ones have pointy yellow caps with blue bottoms . .
mix-and-match subversive raunch-chic . .
Yeeouch ! . .

Wells Fargo plans quiet assault on Wall Street from glass tower
Quote:
As Wall Street remakes itself on a former rail yard in the far west of Midtown Manhattan, one surprising name is leading the way.
Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N), the San Francisco-based lender known for its retail banking business, has picked out space for a trading operation to use as a base for a stealth attack on the investment banking world.
The bid for more capital markets business - from advising on deals and security issues to trading derivatives - is a potentially risky move by the third-largest U.S. bank by assets.
....In December it announced a deal to buy 500,000 square feet - or 10 football fields - of trading and office space at Manhattan's Hudson Yards development. Its neighbors will include private equity firm KKR & Co and media titan Time Warner Inc.
....Buying offices in a 90-story, glass-and-steel tower overlooking New York's Hudson River - with a move-in scheduled for 2020 - is a symbolic move that shows the bank is intent on growing rather than making cuts like many Wall Street firms.
Nearly one-third of the bank's office space is to be taken up by two trading floors, according to the developer's news release in December, but Weiss said it was not yet clear how big the dealing operation would be.
"It was important to have the space that can be built out into a trading operation in the hope that we continue to grow," he said. Wells Fargo's investment banking and trading operations are currently housed in 350,000 square feet spread across four separate buildings in New York.

Looks like with the addition of the latest two floors, it should be even with the retail podium next door, no?

Incredible how the massive size of the main columns dwarfs the 2 foot deep w24x382 braces.
So wait, you're saying that the gray metal bar running horizontally is 2 feet tall and 2 feet deep? How massive are those main columns? It's hard to appreciate from this picture
Currently the greatest show in New York. But in another year or so, it will be on another level.
