Freedom Tower work begins at WTC site.
 NEW YORK - After spending months wrangling for control of buildings and money at ground zero, politicians and a private developer gathered Thursday as excavation trucks rolled out to mark the beginning of construction of the Freedom Tower, the symbolic skyscraper designed to replace the destroyed World Trade Center. Hours after the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the trade center, approved a broad new deal with developer Larry Silverstein that changes timelines and rebuilding strategies for lower Manhattan, Silverstein announced Wednesday that construction crews would report to the site Thursday morning. Early Thursday, New York Gov. George Pataki, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Silverstein stood on the ramp leading to the site, shaking hands with about a dozen workers. Three large yellow excavating trucks then rolled down the ramp, driven by workers wearing hard hats emblazoned with the American flag and the words "Freedom Tower, World Trade Center." For the next month, crews will be relocating utilities and making other preparations for laying the building?s foundation. "It is going to be a symbol of our freedom and independence," Pataki said at a news conference on the ramp. At 1,776 feet tall, the tower will be the tallest structure in New York, casting a beam of light from its peak. Under the agreement, five towers will rise from the 16-acre site by 2012, joining a memorial and transit hub scheduled to open in 2009, and a performing arts center. |

I have to admit it would be darkly funny if it was bombed after it was built..

The tower by itself is cool but it can never replace the old WTC. They schould have just rebuild the onld towers, bigger and taller.
They used to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world!  |

The top looks transparent. Maybe they're making it holographic. Switch it off any time a big plane heads near it.

I'll continue to keep my pad across the street but you won't see me leasing an office inside the towers. That's like asking for a bomb up your ass.
