Construction workers finally placed the spire onto One World Trade Center aka the Freedom Tower aka the world's most belated middle finger to terrorists. Standing at 1776 feet high, it is now the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere. And the very best thing that anybody did in the entire process of erecting this thing was slapping a GoPro onto the spire when they lifted it into place. The effect is simultaneously mesmerizing and stomach-churning.Let us hope that a tradition has been inaugurated for all the tallest-ever buildings built from here on out—let's get a series of these things going; over New York, Dubai, Shanghai, and so on.Here's another shot of the spire ascending Manhattan's skyline like a gleaming rocket ship/phallus draped in the American flag.
