A 360° video of Santiago ( he of the Samuel Beckett Bridge) Calatrava’s new transit hub at the World Trade Center site, which opens later this month – seven years late and, at $4 billion, double its original budget.

A (progressively more vertiginous as it goes on) GoPro sequence capturing the moment last Friday when the final spire segment on top of One World Trade Center in NYC was put in place.

NY cartoonist and director Dan Meth sez:
From 1969 to 2001, the Twin Towers made countless cameos in Hollywood films. Sometimes featured prominently in the foreground, sometimes lurking in the distance. This montage celebrates the towers’ all-too-short film career with songs that capture the passing decades.
