One World Trade Center

The spire is up and one of the two cranes is now down
(last weekend, I saw pieces of it on huuuge flatbed trucks
along the length of several blocks).  It's worth hanging in for
a 30-second ad to see this footage of the last piece of
the spire being put in place last month—unless you're
acrophobic, in which case better skip it).
