These are the first pictures showing the progress being made on the construction at Ground Zero in New York.
Structural steel for the 1,776ft tower, which will be known as 1 World Trade Centre, has reached 200ft above street level, redevelopment officials said.
Taking shape: Construction on the new building began in 2006 and will include a museum and memorial to the 2,973 people killed on September 11, 2001
Progress: Construction on the new 1 World Trade Centre building at the Ground Zero site in New York has now reached 200ft
Workers are now installing 16 steel nodes on the 20th-floor of the tower which will serve as joints between the steel framing for the building's podium and the steel for the rest of the tower.
Chris Ward, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey - which owns the 16-acre trade centre site, said: 'This progress is one more sign that the site is not a pit any more.
'What people can't see... is over 600,000 square feet of museum space being built below grade.' (continue and see more pictures at the Daily Mail online)
The first comment at the Daily Mail states, "No evidence whatsoever to support a terrorist attack took place!" Yes the conspiracy theory folks are still alive and well.I suppose all the attempted ter
DHS Secretary Janes Napolitano sat down with members of Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Society North America and Muslim American Society. What do they want?
From Atlas Shrugs:... these leaders have called for changes to DHS policies that are ineffective and discriminate based on race, ethnicity or religion, including: • Rescinding a new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) directive targeting travelers from or through 13 predominantly Muslim nations, plus Cuba
• Revising a TSA directive on religious headwear, such as turbans and headscarves.
• Setting limits on interrogations and searches by Customs and Border Protection agents that probe an American's faith, politics, finances or associations, as well as cell phones, laptops and electronic devices, without any evidence of wrongdoing.
Yes folks, let's let our guard down at a time when we are anticipating, no expecting, imminent attacks.
The following from the Jawa Report and Spook 86 at In From The Cold: ... Not long after Abdulmutallab's failed bombing, the U.S. reportedly shifted 3,000 air marshals from domestic service, to international flights bound for this country. The move has put such a strain on the air marshal service that personnel from other law enforcement agencies--including the Secret Service and the Border Patrol--are being used to provide security on domestic flights.
This hints at something we discussed in the Jawa backroom at the of the attempt....there were others trained with the Christmas bomber.......where are they.. After the failed bombing attempt, FBI agents began tracing a Ghana-to-Yemen pipeline that took Abdulmutallab to the Al Qaida training camp. They also initiated efforts to find other terrorists who may have trained with the Nigerian.
Earlier this month, British intelligence sources told CBS News that at least 20 other terror operatives might have finished their training at the same time, and departed for locations--and assignments--unknown. Other estimates put the number of terrorists trained with Abdulmutallab at more than two dozen.
Go read this rest..
We have entered a very dangerous time..the most dangerous since 9/11. Indeed, these are very dangerous times and our current administration just, does, not, get, it.
