Seeing these guys raising their arms in celebration at the end really brought this home for me. The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, was built by cheap migrant labor, mostly Indian and Pakistani. They were treated so poorly that on occasion there would be riots. These guys? Union labor, with fair wages and good benefits. I don't usually get too misty-eyed and patriotic, but – God Bless America.
You are starting to be pissed off cuz you don't know jack what you are talking about.
Sooo that's how big it is compared to a person…
CN tower is the tallest free-standing tower in the west, not the tallest building. The CN tower is not considered a building b/c it does not have floors continuously from the ground level up. Next time check Wikipedia prior to making such a bold claim on the internet.
maybe but nobody pay attention to Canada
You mean the Candles on the top ? Happy birday !
Well done New York City its looks great god bless you from Sheffield/England
So build one..or dig one.
Ok…I need to clarify this as it's starting to piss me off. One World Trade is the biggest building in America and the biggest officer tower in the west. It, however is NOT the biggest building. The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada has it beat by 39 feet.
It's only a few feet taller than the North Tower antenna…..
just be happy New York has not only reclaimed our sskyline, but that we also rtained the title of tallest building in the west!
Its so tall I can see the beacon in my backyard and I live across jersey city
This spire is so tall. They should if built more floors instead.
1776ft in the sky
idont see why people build these things. id rather have giant underground structures than this shit
That is so scary I'd be shitting myself all the way up there lol!
Congrats to all the people who dedicated their hard work to make this happen! It's finally done, now hopefully I can visit New York I really want to see the memorial :')
Your bday is 9/11?
This is awesome!
A very special moment in time!
The other spire came down on my birthday and this one is completed on my sisters birthday.
Great day! There will be other new buildings in NYC that surpass this within 10-15 years.
I'm sure people will be working in the building
This made my stomach weak..
I don't think ppl will be working in the building.. I may be wrong tho.
Is there a helicopter platform on top of it? I hope this time they would care about rescue evacuation.
