It took 13 months from the first shovel to hit the ground to the doors opening at the Empire State Building. It is now almost 2011 and they have not broke ground at the World Trade Center. It’s sad.

Actually ¨Freedom Tower¨construction has been underway for over a year and the building is now about 50 stories tall, half of its planned height.

A year or two this way or that, still way too long considering the difference in technology between 1928 and 2010. In 1928 they overcame technology issues today they have to overcome bureaucratic issues.

Is it any wonder we can’t DO BIG THINGS anymore? Even when we do, NO ONE NOTICES.

I read about the erection going on at WTC 1, just like you.

I had to read it in a paper from the UK.
