One World Trade Center gets spire, bringing it to its full 1,776-foot height
NYDN ^ | May 8, 2013 | Erik Badia AND Ryan Sit

With the twists of a few final bolts, the steel spire atop One World Trade Center was installed Friday morning — raising the building’s height to a symbolic 1,776 feet.

A sea of construction workers stared into the blue spring sky with pride and delight after the finishing touches were applied about 8 a.m.

This Nyawker may not agree: **“It’s basically showing (the terrorists), ‘You can’t take America down. We’ll rebuild,’” said Eddie Fackler, who was meeting a friend downtown. “It’s a sense of who we are.”**

It’s a disgrace that it took so long. The Empire State Building went up in less than 15 months according to Wikipedia.

“It looks like a minaret.”

TOO much like a minaret. Reminds me of this:

9/05

“FLIGHT 93 MEMORIAL: SEEING IS BELIEVING”

“Tons of you are stunned, outraged, and sickened by the new Flight 93 Memorial, the “Crescent of Embrace.”...”

(snip)“Sure, there is an Islamic crescent,” Murdoch said. “Theirs is a lunar crescent. Ours isn’t based on that.”

“On Friday, May 10, the spire was raised to the top, and the tower reached its full height, becoming the tallest structure in America and the Western Hemisphere,” Cahn told WND. “On its top floor were the words the inscription of President Obama, the words that matched the ancient vow that brought destruction to ancient Israel. The ancient words would be linked to the tower from its inception. And now in its completion, its construction head Steven Plate would again echo the vow.

“So now the fourth harbinger, the most colossal of the nine harbingers, has reached its final and defiant height,” Cahn said. “What will come next?”

Interestingly, as Cahn notes, the day the spire was raised and the tower attained its final height was significant on the biblical calendar. It was Sivan 1 – the same day that Israel reached Mt. Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments and the Law by which the nation would later be brought into judgment.

“It is also the day in the Hebrew calendar that the earth opened up and Korah and all those who rebelled against God’s lordship were brought into judgment,” Cahn noted.

Thanks for that link!

And then there's

Mal 1

4. For Edom ["RED"] said; We are impoverished, but we will return and rebuild the desolate places; Thus says the Lord of hosts; They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and The people against whom the Lord has indignation for ever:

Signed on [Red] Flag Day - June 14, 2012

Could there be a bit of magic thinking involved?... Like the planners imagined if they made it look like there is a minaret atop it the moose slime would not want to knock it down?

Disgusting thing does look like a minaret, in servile posturing to the devil at the heart of Islam.

At least they didn’t go for Hillary’s insanely stupid “Let’s build a school there!” idea.

It’s actually a large rocket ship that will someday launch the Coneheads back into space to the planet Remulak (France).

If it’s the picture in Post 1, then that’s definitely NOT Lower Manhattan in the background!

Looks like Brooklyn.

I wanted to revive this thread because I just realized for the first time today that the Freedom Tower is one giant minaret. I apologize for being so daft on this. It’s absolutely revolting once you realize what has happened there for an end result. If I knew how to re-title this thread “Freedom Tower is a minaret” and post it new all over again I would.
