One World Trade Center

Finally, two years after Osama bin laden's death was the new World Trade Center Tower completed. Today at a ceremony at former Ground Zero, the workers raised the final part for the 400 feet tall antenna, the beacon, which will rise some 1000 feet over the symbolic 1776 that was reached today. After 4 and 7 World Trade Center, the former Freedom Tower was the third tower to be completed today, for a tentative late 2013 opening date.

I'm very happy for this six long years to be finally finished and I'm glad you New Yorkers finally got a decent memorial for such a tragic loss of life. I'll make sure to visit the observation deck on my next visit to New York.
