For the second day in a row, chunks of ice fell from the Freedom Tower — but this time streets remained open and Port Authority officials didn’t close the nearby PATH station.
Instead, pedestrians had to fend for themselves, scurrying for cover about 11 a.m. Saturday in the shadow of the nation’s tallest building.
“We just saw ice falling down the building,” said startled Austrian tourist Katharina Amann, 24, who is visiting the city with her family. “It was scary. Then I heard it shatter.”
Ice also fell from 7 World Trade Center, which is 52 stories tall, some chunks even bouncing off the building’s awning.

From 2012 - but the ice is still out there. Lurking. Waiting. Cold little paratroopers - “Death from Above!”
It was a miracle no one got killed.
