TODAY covers completion of 1 WTC Antenna - Pt 2 in HD

Join Matt Lauer at the top of One World Trade Center as he gives the signal to raise the final piece of the "SPIRETENNA" part two of two

[@richardhutchison3123]

Wow I admire these men. I have a bad fear of heights and just watching this is tough. Great job guys!

ME TO

[@jpizzle990]

I get vertigo from just looking at this, kudos to those construction workers!! 1 WTC is a beautiful building!!

[@thomasbenson4867]

Jon Piper yea i agree. but they need to go make another tower like that an then move the twin towers bigger stronger an i only hope Trump will continue to make the old twin towers happen

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

The courage of the man up there on that perch is incredible. SURELY they were harnessed to something?!

[@fluppy1014]

Nope 🤣

[@jamesvazquez2491]

Yes they were all tied in through safety harnesses

[@TitaniumTurbine]

@@jamesvazquez2491 They were all tied to each other rather (no structure mounted hook). I believe the words were something like “We will rise together and we shall fall together”. A scary thought for us land dwellers but a great monumental day for sure.

[@The_Vaporizer]

AAAAAAAAaaaaaa!!!! Sorry I was just expecting that for so long 😂

[@theblackknight8055]

I feel like they should have built 2 towers instead of 1, they rebuilt the others.. it just feels like a tower was forgotten about, and obviously I'm not saying the buildings matter more than the people that died that day, but those two towers were astonishing, I don't know.. maybe they only had enough room to rebuild 1

[@3UZFE]

Agree, the reason the originals were impressive was the twin factor, they complimented each other and took the whole complex to a new level.

[@Yasin_2312]

The One World Trade Centre Antenna is equivalent to the height of Top Thrill Dragster rollercoaster. That’s crazy too tall for an antenna which makes the observation view sound very low

[@silvereagle2061]

The irony of Matt Lauer talking about phallic symbols.

[@teddythetorkie5756]

Absolutely stunning

[@GruntProof]

They should have rebuilt the same towers but 10 stories higher

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

The twin towers were actually taller than the parapet of the freedom tower. Both of those towers were absolutely insane, approximately 5 stories lower than Sears tower.

[@murphycreationsvideos]

I totally agree.

[@matticus3110]

The beacon they mention is kind of a sad story. It was supposed to be a strobe light that served as a sort of symbolic lighthouse over New York harbor. The thing was tested a few times and then broke and was never repaired.

[@TheXnyr]

I didn't know that. - it is a shame . thanks for posting!

[@celinamorales9869]

God bless everyone❤❤🙏🙏

[@robyysilva4326]

I love this country!!! Congratulations!!!

[@klk1900]

I wouldn’t call that a antenna. Antennas are tiny. This is a spire or antenna TOWER. But an antenna is for receiving or transmission. The metal structure can’t rx/tx

[@Ray-l8b5d]

Those ironmen are amazing!!!!

[@Chris-pd2uv]

Great men!!!

[@borntoclimb7116]

Awesome

[@visionist7]

It's been seven years. Time to surpass this glorified stick and build a real America's tallest - to the roof.

[@Neil7026]

matt Lauer likes pushing buttons

[@KatDrivtx7]

omg impressif...

[@joseraygoza7808]

Matt Lauer has no clue what he's talking about!

[@dv1267]

He still doesn’t when he surfaces here and there

[@thomasbenson4867]

now build another tower like that an then move an put the old twin towers bigger, stronger, an taller!!!! please Trump bring them back we need them!!

[@ekop1778]

UGLY BUILDING NEED TO BRING BACK TWINS

[@thomvdlinden]

@@ekop1778 Lol. Their design was the thing that let them fall. And they were beautiful. This is too.

[@MennoM.L.]

Agreed

[@alexanderl9985]

FUCK TRUMP

[@murphycreationsvideos]

I totally agree, it's also one of the few good things that Donald Trump proposed. When he became president, he should have followed up on rebuilding the towers instead of wasting time and money on that stupid wall.

[@tygeworldwide348]

Willis tower taller than this lol

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

If it weren't for that stupid dangerous tower, yes...

[@lilmtit424]

One wtc is taller lil bro

[@davedave5787]

there dads were paid 12.65 an hour..... I wonder what these folks doing the work make now. 16 bucks maybe

[@roye5674]

Probably anywhere from $26-$36

[@christopherniceley8848]

Just wait until this building gets hit with a plane from a planned attack 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Ray-l8b5d]

I'm not waiting for that BS.

[@3UZFE]

It's just a shame it's not a better design, but still impressive from an engineering stand point.
