The Final Piece of 1 World Trade Center

May 2, 2013 Construction

Thanks to the two readers sent in photos of the top of the 1 World Trade Center spire making its journey up to the roof. Remember: @WTCprogress tweeted yesterday evening that the final parts of the spire will be taken up to the roof today, but they won’t be set into place just yet.

    Am I the only one who thinks this spire is bizarre and doesn’t relate to the rest of the building’s design? (Not great to begin with.) Looks to me like a Disneyland creation that got plunked on top of the building just to add the number of feet they needed. Open to being enlightened if anyone has an explanation.
