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

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's striking and pops out of the skyline in a similar way I think the twin towers did. <br>It's kinda sad that construction on this site is still unfinished after 17 years. I wasn't around when the original towers were destroyed, but I still feel like it'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're talking about buildings being built on the sites of pain, horror and sorrow. Anything less than perfect can be disastrous and that'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'd always open Google earth and explore New York. I'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'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!
