It's been 7.836 years since some Saudis hijacked some planes and flew hem into the World Trade Center, towers one and two. I took this picture today of the progress that's been made since that time. You'll see that there is exactly one new building on the right. That's the new Seven World Trade Center. It's very glassy. The previous one was four stories smaller but a bit larger in square footage due to its larger footprint. The new Seven doesn't cut across Greenwich Street like the old one did.
Just for comparison, here's a picture of a building going up just 4 blocks away to the East next to Pace University. This project started around the same time I started my job back in August of 2007. Not quite two years later, it's looking quite a bit further long than anything at the actual Tower One and Two site. Although I must say that in their haste, they may have made some of the building parts melt.
