    As a New Yorker, I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that reconstruction on this site is still incomplete.😬😬😬

    The documentaries on this channel are reaching a level quality I didn't know was possible.

    Nothing can top the original trade centers. You could literally see them from anywhere in New York and I wish they would make these two towers the same way so that you could see them from all over the place in New York City.

    As a skyscraper nerd, I have been a fan of this channel for years. I love how the quality of the content has not only improved but evolved. B1M is truly a treasure.

    Even as a New Yorker who was an adult when 9/11 happened I had no idea the status of the WTC unfinished buildings. Thank you for shedding a light on this story. The level of detail and journalism you put into your videos is paramount.

    Personally I feel like the diamond is the best, it compliments 1wtc well. It&apos;s striking and pops out of the skyline in a similar way I think the twin towers did. <br>It&apos;s kinda sad that construction on this site is still unfinished after 17 years. I wasn&apos;t around when the original towers were destroyed, but I still feel like it&apos;s important that this site is completely rebuilt.

    It is a difficult situation to be in. Apart from these 4 stages, the WTC also faces the public eye. We&apos;re talking about buildings being built on the sites of pain, horror and sorrow. Anything less than perfect can be disastrous and that&apos;s not a good position for anyone to find themselves in.

    How versatile is a foundation that has not been built on? Will the foundation be good forever? Does it constrain the building that can be built on top of it?

    As a kid, I&apos;d always open Google earth and explore New York. I&apos;d always follow the news on the reconstruction of the WTCs. I still do actually, sometimes. Thank you B1M for keeping on fueling my love of New York and skyscrapers.

    You thought you could make a whole documentary, put it on YouTube for free, and we wouldn&apos;t notice?<br><br>Wrong, we noticed and this is a phenomenal research project. Thank you for all the hard work in bringing us these updates—earned a subscriber!
