I thought this was a documentary, turns out is only an idiot with a camera at the other side of the fence. A waste!.

[paperbacklou]

Sorry for the miscommunication. We didn't intend this to be a documentary, rather a grind-it-out, unedited, day-in-the-life coverage of the placing of one of the rebar cages. Please see our other videos taken on in and around construction site. We get down when we can but sometimes the better view is outside and above. If I come across any documentaries on the construction I will alert you.

how much do they have done now?

[paperbacklou]

Rich writes a monthly journal on Freedom Tower progress on the "paperbacknovel" website (.com). If you go to the home page you'll see the latest entry.

@canadianclassic08 No but your mommy could have helped me if she would have swallowed you instead of of being the whore that she is conceving you in the back of a pick up. Dirtbag canadian. Noone cares about your opinions, kill yourself. Your country is dogshit

[canadianclassic08]

@Tickosgay Brilliant comment. Did your mommy help you write that?

[Tickosgay]

@canadianclassic08

So what should the do? Never build a tall skyscraper again? You're a fucking retard, you're canadian though so that explains it

[canadianclassic08]

Why don't they put a bulls eye on the new ridiculous structure. I guess some dumb American civil servants, the mayor, architects, etc. will never ever learn seemingly. Now that Bush isn't around, maybe the new buidling won't get attacked and set with bombs.

they say its going to be finished in 2011 or maybe 2013

Please don't tell me that you think the building in this video is the Freedom Tower...you can not be this clueless! You realize that the the Freedom Tower is still under construction, the building in this shot looks like the new building 7!...damn people are clueless!

HAHA!!!
