How many skyscrapers does NY need? I mean most of them are half empty, nobody can even live in NY coz of the insane property prices that are kept artificially high for both residents as well as businesses, the city is a cesspool of crime, murder and woke mentally insane people and politics, most of the working class and rich are moving out as a result of it and the city is basically an empty shell of it's former self. It's not anymore the place like Home Alone 2 where you want to spend your vacation as Kevin McCallister.

From someone that worked the sight I can tell you we have had mixed emotions on if and how it should have been built. The original to us just means resiliency and strength. That even though we have fallen we came back up the same but stronger. But then we also feel we need to leave well enough alone. So many souls are there that must be left alone to rest and realize that it’s where we go to remember all whom perished there.

@DanteTimberwolf Год назад

Personally I feel like the diamond is the best, it compliments 1wtc well. It's striking and pops out of the skyline in a similar way I think the twin towers did. It's kinda sad that construction on this site is still unfinished after 17 years. I wasn't around when the original towers were destroyed, but I still feel like it's important that this site is completely rebuilt.

We got a private tour of 3WTC and there was a large model of how the site may look, and it had the diamond columns and I was in awe at how elegant 2WTC would look like. Still the best option in my opinion if they decide to go forward.

@ziggypop79 9 месяцев назад

@sam23696 8 месяцев назад

I don't think they want the appearance of twin towers on the site anymore for obvious reasons. Also, WTC1 has already been designed to symbolically represent the original two buildings, it's supposed to look like the twin towers merged together. Following that design philosophy have a second identical tower makes no sense. It would be like saying "here is where the quad towers used to stand, all 4 of them identical"

@stankbagel1265 8 месяцев назад

Building another set of twin towers would honestly in my opinion show the world that we have not moved on and that we still want things as they were, I think 1 WTC is fine as it is and the diamond tower would complement it but that's my opinion on it.

I was the Local 15d Party Chief who laid out the foundation for 2 WTC. I was working for Halmar International at the time. We did all the pile caps, grade beams, anchor bolts, and the shear walls below sidewalk grade. We had started doing the core foundation as well. Before that I was also the head Party Chief working for Yonkers/Tully/Pegno that did the PATH Train Restoration project at Ground Zero after 9/11. We built the temporary station right on top of the old station to reopen the tunnels going into Jersey. I remember when we got down to the original footings and removed the old steel base plates, the original surveyor's centerlines were still visible. I hit those centerlines within an 1/8". It was a great relief for me to be able to "check" into something that was original to the site layout at the very bottom of the pit.

What a fantastic video, well done you guys I enjoy watching these fantastic and informative programmes.

@dinofrangiamore Год назад

Always enjoy these videos. This one really brought home all the difficulties in building skyscrapers, not just architecture and engineering, but finance, politics, etc. Thanks!

And brought me home as a pilot that avoids buildings and terrorists. It's a tough job But somebody has to do it. I kinda think of myself and fellow pilots that avoid these situations ..well I guess you can say we're like Angles and we're just doing our jobs...if we get you on the ground safely suffice to say. Like guardian angels. Can I get an amen

Just went to NYC recently for the first time. As a European, I'm forever struck by its formidable verticality. Your channel helps me heal the traveller blues :P edit for the comments - I know Europe isn't a country, but it's my cultural and political identity nonetheless :)

@seanpruitt6801 Год назад

I am shocked how little skyscrapers there are in Europe!!! Hope you can come back.

@@ivy_47 compared to Asia and North America that’s not a lot. I said “very little” meaning not a lot in comparison to other wealthy parts of the world. IE the US Canada Japan China etc.

@Tobi-ln9xr Год назад

@@seanpruitt6801 Yeah that’s because European cities have centuries old city centres. Most cities have skylines with huge cathedrals and buildings from the Middle Ages. Towers would absolutely not fit into that.

Between this guy’s voice, the music and the compelling stories this one of my favorite channels. Great production quality, not too long, not too short.

such a great video! You guys always manage to spark my interest in things I would have otherwise never thought about

Awesome. Glad I stumbled upon your channel.

When RU-vid "started", there was a conversation about how it would substitute TV or legacy media. Prank videos, family vlogs, some of the weirdest challenges, for example, made question this forecast. Then, a channel like this shows up. What a marvelous work of journalism. Congratulations!!

Another excellent production by B1M staff! Good, actual, well-documented discussions.

@fytghggyungf7601 Год назад

Such a bummer that it wasn’t built. I always thought the original quad diamond design was the best looking building out of anything they were building down there.

Love this Channel, must be my favourite of all. So interesting & so informative. My knowledge on construction is so much better since watching the B1M. Keep them coming 👍

Fred Mills is bringing us quality content. I always enjoy his videos. I have no words anymore on what's going on in NYC in regards to the affordable housing crisis. The fight between the government and private developers will never cease.

Well done for the effort on this video. I'm so glad I only design extensions, individual houses and small residential estates. So much less hassle and no political issues...unless a proposal is next to an MP's property of course.

The process actually starts by paying off union bosses and then arranging for the labor union to skim 27% off the cost of the project.

@DrHotelMario Год назад

I remember following the development of 1WTC since I was a kid, back to when it was the Freedom Tower. With how troubled that development was, I wrote off the rest of the towers as pipedreams.

The new 'leaked' design is an improvement from the stairstepping IMO. But the diamond design will always be my favorite. It complements everything so well.

_I really love the sward column structure, I even made a 3-D render from foundation to top columns of the structure before they even completed the foundation, I explored the rendered internal structure of the building and fell in love with it_

I'm not a builder or in the construction industry but these videos are so well done and understandable that I become enthralled with the information and storytelling. Thanks for this from the US!
