Workers install final section of spire atop One World Trade Center

As dozens of construction workers perched atop One World Trade Center looked on and and applauded the historic milestone, crews installed the final two sections of the 408-foot steel spire at One World Trade Center. The building now stands a symbolic 1,776 feet high, making it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third tallest in the world.
Using a crane located high above street level, ironworkers lifted the final two pieces off a temporary work platform on the roof of One WTC and attached them to the previously installed 16 sections of spire. During the installation, ironworkers set and tightened 60 bolts at an altitude of 1,701 feet in the air.

Flip your screen so the image is upside down, this angle is much better to watch. Amazing achievement!!

[@mrfeelgoodhaha]

What if a plane crashed into it right as it reached the top and pilot yelled "Not today bitches"

[@MahmoudAlromani]

wait until they decide that the building reached it's life time then they will make another 9/11

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
