Cool picture looking down on NYC from new 1 WTC building - The Orange Mane

Dagmar · 07-06-2011, 09:57 PM

As we approach the 10th anniversary of that day, I thought people would enjoy this image from the new building.

Please enjoy the image and progress before the Gaffs, Epics and Bajas destroy the thread.

New York sure is an ugly ****ing city.

and btw, if your keen, you can see a hidden message in the formation of the trees.

Taco John · 07-06-2011, 10:25 PM

I must not be keen.

ant1999e · 07-06-2011, 10:37 PM

If you're keen you'll tell us.

That One Guy · 07-06-2011, 10:48 PM

Holy crap, am I drunk?

TDmvp · 07-06-2011, 10:55 PM

That is one insane view I wish they would hurry up and get it done tho.

Side note , somewhere right now Gaffstapo's Spinne senses are tingling , over under on how many post before he invades this thread to tell us how stupid we are.

From this article on the planted trees:

Quote:

An elaborate subterranean irrigation system, with individual tubes running to each tree, will water and fertilizer the grove. The trees' condition, soil moisture and temperature can be monitored remotely through sensors embedded into their root balls.

Pretty crazy.

It says "we're coming for you next".
Or not... I bet Bush Jr. knows...how to clear brushwood.

Gaff- to seize or impale with a hook on a stick, or a barbed spear, for landing large fish.

Seriously though, I hope they can make it as tranquil as possible.

I think judging a city by a shot of a construction site isn't so fair. If you look just across the street it appears much nicer.

And I too lack the power of keen.

NYC is great.

Awesome picture.

This thing is only about 40% of its final height right now. I really dislike the design, both of the building(s) and the "reflecting pools".

As an aside, NY is a beautiful city. This is an ugly photo.

Boobs McGee · 07-07-2011, 06:52 AM

Are those squares in the middle for elevators?

Man-Goblin · 07-07-2011, 07:31 AM

You know you're afraid of heights when a picture like that freaks you out.

YOUR FACE IS BUT A CITY OF COLD SORES AND DARK p***Y WART HOLES OF KRAFT SINGLES

Dagmar · 07-07-2011, 08:33 AM

It amazes me 10 years after the tragedy the place is still a big building site.

Requiem · 07-07-2011, 08:39 AM

NYC. Yawn.

It's not even close to done.....I walk by it every day. They work tirelessly on it, around the clock, but my guess is that is was just a massive undertaking

Chris · 07-07-2011, 08:51 AM

There was a ton of red tape initially to get this thing off the ground... to approve a plan that satisfied the public (aka what Bloomberg deemed acceptable enough as a memorial) and the developer (Bloomberg's buddy who needs to rebuild office buildings all around this site).

TheReverend · 07-07-2011, 08:54 AM

I remain extremely excited for the eventual finished product

Chris · 07-07-2011, 09:04 AM

Final design

Leaves much to be desired for such an important place imo.
