The ridiculous monstrosity now under construction at ground zero is to be 1776 feet tall and 195 stories high. This building is to be hardened in such a way as to be virtually terror proof. New technologies are being used. A new and special type of concrete and specialty steel frame are incorporated. 70 high speed elevators are apparently needed to keep each floor properly accessible. An express ride to the top will take one minute. A special design and shape of the upper floors will minimize wind resistance. I often wonder how water is supplied to the upper floors. It surely requires pumps. What happens in case of a power failure ?. Three other buildings are also under construction at this site.
It is said that the buildings will be beautiful. My personal preference would have been a nice park

I agree. A park would have been much cheaper and a nice scene of greenery in the Wall Street area. I wonder who financed this building?!
The only thing for sure is no matter what they built there someone would have complained....
My greatest regret for this site is that it took over a decade to finally follow through with building something.
That, I think, should be a cause of shame for patriots everywhere.
