ELEVEN YEARS after the fall of the Twin Towers, New Yorkers have been given their first look at the view from the 100th floor of the new One World Trade Center.
The ‘One World Observatory’ will extend through three floors, rising from the 100th to the 102nd floors on the new skyscraper.
Development of the visitor centre is due to begin next year, when the final construction of the 104-floor building concludes, and the first visitors are expected to be admitted in 2015.

Wish we had a tower instead we have a spike.
I know where I’d like to stick that spike…Mr. Kenny…
Erection at the intersection
They have anti-aircraft guns on the roof so you can feel perfectly safe up there.
No way.
Way
I thought i was being gullible,not surprised though
So the chances of a shot-down plane landing on top of you in Manhattan have suddenly increased. Safer in the tower so!!
Is it as high or higher than the World Trade Centre twin towers were?
No think their a just short.
Can help thinking of the poor people who jumped from that height on 911 RIP
So sad Una. “Attack On America”. They were of all creeds and cultures.
Hands up. Honestly who would feel safe up that high in the tower. I know i wouldn’t
Only a matter of time before a plane is photoshopped into the background.
A magnificent achievement given the circumstances. And a testament to all those who perished. May they Rest In Peace.
Wait for it. Wait for it
Someone in tin foil hat will go on about conspiracy theory.
Hey those tin foil hats work! On the topic Signs was a great film :)
I don’t like the conformists gibe tin foil hat. I prefer Timothy Leary’s expression think for yourself and question authority. Trying to brand people who question authority as lunatics is not helpful. Unless you work yourself in authority.
People can question but those who dont except expert explanation. Yeah ill stick to my guns on them being tin foil hat brigade. Have to stop those signals from those naughty government people interfering with brain waves
I think they are all maxed out after the North Korea and the Twin Tower stories from earlier. Although I’d imagine Mr Lowe is straightening his tin foil at the moment.
lol…..and you know what ?? o yeah you know it all…. 50 plus cameras around the pentagon and to this day no FOOTAGE of a passenger plane…this a fact but of course you know it all…lol
Back to sleep Socartes…….zzzzzzz
You should have a tin foil hat too….because the official narrative is by definition a “conspiracy theory” i will send one if like…lol
There are videos, blogs, websites and tons more for every conspiracy – along with as many debunking those theories – along with as many official reports – along with…….and so on!!!
Most will have a look at the lot or bits from all angles and move on. But there are those who will research and only believe that is what is going on in their own head. And no convincing will change them.
Jaysis Paul…i wouldn’t have bothered with him..:-)
so cctv camera that records back them at 1 frame every couple of seconds is going to catch a 500mph plane ?? oh john lad i pity you
Not all conspiracy theories are untrue. Watergate, Operation Northwoods, Iran-Contra, the Lisbon Treaty …
If you are worried about those ol Govt brain waves,wearing a conductive element like tin foil would be the worst thing you can do.Its very conductive for radio waves..Remember hanging tinfoil strips on the portable TV ariel or better recption??
Better off with somthing non conductive like lead .
DUDE……are you for real ?? The most protected building on the planet would not have seen it coming ?? god people you are very naive
@Stewie Griffin i feel for you man really , do some research , apart from no FOOTAGE BEING released , you do realise that a plane cannot fly 15 feet off the ground at 500mph right ??? it is impossible so do some research and ask any pilot would be able to do it……show me the footage !!
Rather then wait stew I wanna shot. Plane came in at angle ya dope from the sky sooo plane coming down moving not far off speed of sound slsms into building and old cctv system catches it. Sorry but I download cctv system for different purposes. Modern ones will work about 1 frame per second up to maybe 15 as stores on to hard drives. Duplex systems as was standard few years ago were poor quality resolution recorded onto tapes between one frame a second to one frame every 5 seconds. Camera’s dont point up a camera especially then will not pick up a fast moving object this is kinda a specialist area of mine funny enough.
And at that speed a camera tiday unless directly in its path pointing right at it will only show a few specs then will go dead.
So anyway like I said im an expert on these systems. Also install them. So run along tin foil man :)
Actually promotion time if anyone needs advice on cctv and or installation please contact me directly via twitter for information and pricing.
Johnnathon – first of all, what kind of person actually still says DUDE and in this country? Too much icarly?
The Pentagon would not be one of the most protected buildings on the planet. Google Norads HQ – now that’s protection. I doubt very much they had their own built in radar base and missile protection system. It had massive walls to withstand missile attacks not fully fuelled Boeing 757s travelling at 300-500 mph. There is security low frame rate video footage of the explosion – you choose which video you want to believe.
One of the major operational faults on the day was the lack of direct decision making processes between the FAA and the military. They got that badly wrong, not a conspiracy but a massive feck up. It took the nerve of a senior FAA controller to ground all aircraft immediately when it became obvious that the unimaginable was actually happening.
How many people do you think were involved in all these crashes and shooting down conspiracies. And they are all still quite? No wait , maybe they were all ordered into the twin towers that morning.
Believe what you want – keep your tin foil hat on.
Also, and I am no expert but would the cameras not be pointing slightly downwards as to record people that are coming and going and not up at the sky where nothing at all is happening.
@paul are you actually serious ?? I mean you must be joking ?? So explain why were all CCTV cameras from a Hotel taken by the FBI ?? I mean you are really naive if you think that whatever hit pentagon was not got on camera……..tin foil hats ?? i mean c’mon in all fairness
@Socrates did you install the PENTAGONS cameras ?? Jesus lads you are really naive in all fairness……anti-aircraft guns all over the building and you are saying they didn’t catch whatever hit the building ?? wow !! You guys need to get your heads checked..
Johnnathan – I give up! You have just played the typical tin foil hat card. Selective with your responses again.
Johnnathan (no name calling that’s childish – especially as I don’t go incognito.)
Dont bother Paul :) he is kinda lad who will make management level in fast food industry with that intelligence.
You can do it you just gotta believe!!!!!
Any chance of getting Mr Corr on here. Now that would be fun!
That’s the first time anyone other than construction workers have been that high in New York since 2011.
One can only imagine the feelings & thoughts which went through people’s heads at the time.
You obviously haven’t tried crystal meth in the Bronx, so…
@ Phil.. Excellent !!
Is it owned by that filthbag Larry Silverstein?
Yup
Are they rebuilding Building 7?
Surprised not more was made of the c i a building collapsing
Shhh….they’re hoping no one remembers that. ;)
You can tell the level of conditioning people have gone under when 13 years ago two planes flew into two modern skycrapers causing 3 towers (building 7???) to fall into their own footprint, justifed 2-3 wars and counting, made a few people a whole lot of money and the guys who question it are the ones to get ridiculed!
Well of course it rightly justified one war with Afghanistan for harbouring bin Laden and operating the training camps the hijackers used.
War is necessary at times. Regrettable but with hardline Islamic republics and stalionist countries the west does need defence. We can see what happens when intelligence that was obviously deemed important enough to get to high ranks was ignored. But then im sure america had daily threats.
Same thing at start of WW2. had advanced notice of pacific aggression but thought the japs would not be bold enough to hit their pacific fleet
Not 100% correct, I managed to do that in New York last year & it was really nice. :-)
A lot of windows in that there new tower, they’d be needin a man to have a bicycle with the ladder tied to it, bucket swinging from the end to clean them, I’m that man but they’ll have to provide the water
Wait until Alqaida find out about this buildin.
There was I thinking we were all safe using the internet.
That looks deadly I can’t wait to go and visit it
Pun intended?
have your say
