"Seven days a week..." The tower has taken 6 years to get to this point, growing at a rate of a floor a week. As the tower nears the day that it can reclaim the title of tallest building in New York, construction continues at the World Trade Center site around the clock?24 hours a day/7 days a week?as long as the weather cooperates.

"You know it's a good view when even the guys who work here are taking out their cameras..." From the 84th floor, lower Manhattan looks like a monopoly board with matchbox cars, while workers at the top enjoy views of all five boroughs, the Hudson and East Rivers, and the always awe-inspiring Statue of Liberty.
