When it is completed, it will be the tallest building in Manhattan and one of incredible poignancy for New York City.
One World Trade Center reached its 90th floor this week – with just 14 more floors to go until the top. The structure can now be seen from all five boroughs of the city.
Stunning pictures showed how the area has been reborn since the 9/11 attacks more than a decade ago where almost 3,000 people lost their lives in the worst ever terrorist attack on American soil.

One World Trade Center is on track to be completed by 2013 with construction workers approximately finishing a floor a week in downtown Manhattan.
Electrical contractors at the tower agreed to give it a festive feel and wrapped the exterior lamps they use with coloured cellophane in time for Christmas.
Developments can be followed on One World Trade Center's Twitter feed @WTCProgress. Glass now covers up to the 65th floor and concrete has been added up to the 82nd level. There will be 104 floors in the completed building, making it the tallest in Manhattan.
I HOPE LARRY THE SNAKE DIDN’T USE ASBESTOS IN THIS BUILDING. AN IMPRESSIVE VIEW, I THOUGHT THE FOG WAS DUST FROM LARRY’S PREVIOUS VENTURE. LIKE PEARL HARBORS LEAKY BATTLESHIP OIL SLICK. I KNOW ,TASTELESS HUMOR. I WONDER IF THE SNAKE WILL HAVE BREAKFAST THERE EVERY DAY? I COULD SURE CREAM CHEESE HIS BAGEL.
