***I was there & watched the whole thing yesterday - very emotional. Very quiet (for NYC) until it reached the top. Then thunderous applause & car horns going off.

*Great video; wish it was longer.*

I was just reading a related article & never knew/or it never occurred to me:

When crews raise the final sections of spire to the top of One World Trade Center, the structure will help the skyscraper soar 1,776 feet into the sky, a patriotic reference to the year the Declaration of Independence was adopted by Congress. The building currently tops out at 1,368 feet above the lobby level – the height of the original World Trade Center’s North Tower.

It was truly an emotional viewing. I lost two colleagues when the Towers came down & two Firemen friends that were 1st Responders to illnesses related to the attack. There was also a 6 hour period during that day that I thought I lost my brother.
