Girder by girder, glass pane by glass pane, the rise of what is now New York City's tallest skyscraper was documented over the past few years a in a time-lapse video by Earthcam, On Monday, One World Trade Center, the skyscraper that is being being built to replace the twin towers destroyed on 9/11, extended more than 1,250 feet into the sky, eclipsing the observation deck at the Empire State Building.
It will be at least another year before the Freedom Tower, as it is also known, reaches its full height of 1,776 feet. At that point, it could be pronounced the tallest building the U.S., taller even than the Chicago skyscraper formerly known as the Sears Tower.
