^^ awesome pics. Awesome memorial services. I really don't give a flying feck what kind of crap Al Jazeera or the Guardian, or RT tries to say....

It was a great memorial service, they got the tone of the day just right, it was perfect.

Yeah, I agree the memorial service today was very moving.

Is it true that this year was the last time that the two beams of light would be shot up into the sky like in that above picture?

I really do think the memorial is stunning. It's certainly one of the most ingenious I've ever seen. I think it's my fav in the world along with the Holocaust memorial in Berlin. btw, regarding the tower- I think I already mentioned it in this thread, but there's nothing overly special about it. Especially considering how much future media attention it will get and what it has replaced. I do like the fact there are 8 sides on the one tower though. I think it's a nice nod to the old towers which combined had 8 sides. Also, the mast at the top is very reminiscent of WTC1, especially from silhouetted renders in the distance. The best modern tower in NYC however issss....

BoA tower

78 / 104 floors done

I really wish they had rebuilt the towers as they were as a two fingers up to the terrorist ***** who killed so many people.

Must be freezing up there lol

I'd say those pool things are the saddest place in america.

looks like it's getting close to the top. I wonder if it will be done by Sept. 11th this year for the anniversary.

It's beautiful,I will be there myself soon,the memorial is a sight to behold,I adore NY.

I think so :blush:

That's not a crane up top, it's a very large swiveling defense mechanism. ;)

Alright, maybe not, but that would be sweet. :blush:

A time lapse of a video released by the Port Authority shows the spire being raised to the top of One World Trade Center.
