    hi there and appreciate your information – I have definitely grabbed new stuff from here. I nevertheless noticed a few on-site issues by using this site.

Anyway I am putting this Rss feed to my reader and can look forward to more of your interesting posts..

    Im dismayed by the sick conspiracy theorists who choose to use this site to diseminate their sickness. Who cares how long this is taking. Im proud that it is being built.

    How’s it going? I’m starting a blog about making money while traveling abroad. I am going to try and make a living south of the border as a professional blogger (probably teach some English and do some freelance writing as well). I have tried this twice, and failed (but have learned a lot), this time I will succeed! It will be fun (A Broad Abroad) so please subscribe to me.

    It’s always going to suck that World Trade Center was destroyed and not to be rebuilt,what especially sucks is that I nor my family got the opportunity to visit the Twin Towers thanks to some idiot family we had to meet which was actually back in February 2001. So all I can hope is that One World Trade Center will be just as good or perhaps somewhat better than World Trade Center,in fact, I hope officials are “walking the walk” not “talking the talk” about constructing One World Trade Center. Finally a word of advice for those visiting or planning a visit to New York is if the highlight of the trip is to do sightseeing INSTEAD of getting together with folks who you don’t relate to or worse may disrupt your sightseeing plans ( even if they don’t intend to) than go for it.

    They could have the Fantastic Tween Towers back, that I ever wanted know, saving, this way, the old New York postcard.
    What will you do, if you have a famous spoiled painting, like Monalisa? You will recover the original, of course, not replacing it with Madona picture!
    Good luck to New Tower.

    seems pretty slow. it should have been faster and it really was supposed to be finished by 9/11/2011 — ten years anniversary of 9/11. now the date has been pushed by 2 years. the new building design is fascinating although i still agree that the towers should be put up back like they were before. lets all hope that the terrorists aren’t going to hit this one as soon as its open!

  15. Ian Says:

    one world trade center is a joke. the towers should be rebuilt the way they used to be

  16. babette Says:

    Freedom Tower? Sounds like sarcasm to me. They built a gigantic space station in approximately 10 years, yet little or nothing has been built of this tower here on earth. And Silverstein now wants a bailout! Of course, he’ll get one to keep him quiet ’cause he was complicit and knows who the real players were in 911. There must be a REASON it’s taking so long to build on that spot…investigate, research, think and keep an open mind.

    911=usRAEL

  17. Dave from NY Says:

    Eight years to build a hole in the ground.

    And to think it only took seven years to build the original WTC.

  18. fhfjhfasdg Says:

    I am okay with the name freedom tower, but the name one world trade center that people are spouting is stupid it sounds like we are giving in to the terrorists.

  19. Doug Says:

    How disappointing. It’s a shameful, bland, lame monument to 9/11.

  20. serbia Says:

    its to slow

  21. Roni Recker Says:

    Obama is just like the rest of the others. All talk no action. I say the hell with having a President. Let the good people make the decisions.

  22. Roni Recker Says:

    I like Donald Trumps idea. Put the towers back up like they were. The new building looks like shit.

  23. Dames Says:

    What is it with that *music* on the video??? It’s 4 mins of showing a building site with bad music… the building of my local supermarket was more eventful and exciting.

    The design is ugly and uninspiring. It’s not the outright brashness of the Twin Towers and it bears no resemblance to Liebeskind’s design, like it or not. It’s just a big stupid corporate slab which would look more at home in the South East Asia or Dubai.

    The ‘meh’ tower.

  24. Joe Says:

    this website shows that the tower was never ment for 09

  25. Thomas Jefferson Says:

    Some one better not crash in to it the first day it opens

  26. Damian Says:

    Hello I’m a Canadian and I take what happened on 9/11 to heart as there were Canadians in those towers!

    To see the lame amount of work that has been done to date is truly a slap in the face to anyone who lost family and friends in the attacks. This thing has taken 11 years to build and to see that it is not yet done is really a testament to how screwed up the American Goverment really is.

    I truly hope for the American people’s sake that Obama makes the right type of progress for your country to get it back to what it once was.

    A country with a great amount of respect shown to it!

    Where it is now is a far cry from the days of Abraham Lincoln.

  27. Tom Says:

    Christ, 2013. No wonder we don’t carry the respect we once did in the world. It takes us 12 years to rebuild an inherent symbol of our leadership position in the world. The rebuild should have been made a NATIONAL priority.

  28. Sam Says:

    Oops- I meant World Trade Center One!!

  29. Sam Says:

    I’m glad to see progress finally being made on the Freedom Tower. Especially, since the original completion date was supposed to be Septmber 11,2009- last month. Now it’s 4 years late! Better late than never!

    thanks for publishing this. its incredible to me how little progress has been made in the construction of these buildings and how little we ever hear about it.
