On the heels of a report that One World Trade Center is now the world's most expensive building, costing an estimated $3.8 billion, the Post now says a delay with the skyscraper's underground loading dock "can’t be finished in time for [Conde Nast] and other tenants to use the planned 13 cargo bays to move in equipment to build out their space... As a result, the PA is scrambling to construct a temporary, above-ground loading dock with just five bays. The unexpected change in plans will add 'tens of millions' of dollars to the cost of building 1 WTC, sources said." And the temporary PATH station is at fault! more ›

As One World Trade Center has passed the 90th floor of its construction, it's reached another milestone: It's now costing more than $3.8 billion. The Wall Street Journal reports that it's the "world's most expensive new office tower, according to people familiar with the matter. The new figure [is] up $700 million from the latest public estimate." more ›

Look, tourists? We love you. All 50 million of you. But you can't keep bringing your guns to our attractions. You can't bring them to the top of the Empire State Building and you certainly can't bring them into the 9/11 Memorial—as one Tennessee woman learned last week. more ›

The National September 11th Museum is supposed to open next year, but Mayor Bloomberg says construction at the site has come "basically to a halt" because the Port Authority, which is paying for site-wide infrastructure, is squabbling with the museum foundation over money. Governor Cuomo said yesterday that the Port Authority (which is controlled by New York and New Jersey on the state level) is "on the verge" of suing the foundation over hundreds of millions of dollars. Never forget bureaucratic infighting! more ›

Renderings for a South Korean residential development raised eyebrows last week because the two connected towers, named "The Cloud," resemble the World Trade Center's Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. The Dutch architecture firm, MRVDV, issued a statement, "MVRDV regrets deeply any connotations The Cloud projects evokes regarding 9/11," and then added on its Facebook page, "A real media storm has started and we receive threatening emails and calls of angry people calling us Al Qaeda lovers or worse." more ›

Talkitect reports about a South Korean development plan, "Yongsan Dream Hub corporation presented today the MVRDV designed residential development of the Yongsan Business district: two connected luxury residential high-rises. A 260 meter tall tower and a 300 meter tall tower are connected in the centre by a pixelated cloud of additional program offering amenities and outside spaces with wide views." However, Gawker notices that it bears an eerie resemblance to, well, the World Trade Center's Twin Towers during 9/11 (disturbing images): "AAAAAGH! YOU HAVE ERECTED A TERRIFYING MONUMENT TO THE NIGHTMARES OF 9/11!!!" more ›

While the Gothamist readers don't seem to be a fan of HDR, the World Trade Center's photograph of Monday's fog over lower Manhattan (and sweeping over NJ) was still pretty cool. So the Port Authority just posted two more photos on its WTC Progress site—weather is wondrous! more ›

Earlier today, we shared this moody photograph of the Manhattan Bridge in the morning fog. The Twitter account showcasing the building at the World Trade Center, @WTCprogress, just Tweeted this photograph, "For today, check out the morning fog from the 84th floor of T1 - overlooking Jersey and downtown NYC." more ›

All you gullible sheep out there will glance at this photo and dismiss it as just a pizza box blowing in the wind, and that's fine. That's how you live your lives, head buried in the sand as the lizard people in The Syndicate tighten their greasy grip around your complacent throats! But the Mutual UFO Network knows better. A photographer shooting lower Manhattan from The New Museum recently snapped several shots of this mysterious, diamond shaped UFO in the air near the World Trade Center site, and he or she wants to believe. On the UFO sighting message board, this person writes: more ›

One Texas restaurant employee decided to honor the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks by serving a Muslim customer a burger with a "Happy 9/11" drawing on the box. more ›

One of the many heartbreaking images to come from yesterday's September 11 tenth anniversary ceremony was that of Robert Peraza, touching and kneeling in front of his son's etched name at the National 9/11 Memorial. That moment was captured on the front pages of many newspapers, as well as others of loved ones looking at 9/11 victims' name in the memorial for the first time. more ›

The Tribute in Light, which features 88 separate beams of light shooting from the WTC into the sky, has become perhaps the most beloved and evocative of 9/11 memorials. If the sky around the city is clear of clouds, the annual Tribute will be able to be seen from at least 60 miles away. You can still catch the Tribute until sunrise tomorrow, but keep in mind that the project takes weeks of preparation and hundreds of thousands of dollars to construct—so if you want to keep seeing the memorial every year, you may want to consider helping out. more ›

This week, we spoke with Tom McCarthy, the Battalion Chief of the 13th Battalion in Washington Heights. He opened up to us about his personal story of the haunting events of September 11th for the first time in public, as well as his frustrations with the politicization of the day. He told us one thing in particular that has been stuck in our heads all day: "Don't forget, on September 11th, 2001, it was just another day. And now it has become "9/11" or "the events of 9/11." He continues: "It has become something big, unmanageable, not easy to understand. On that particular day it was just the worst catastrophe, but it was just one more while dealing with lots of catastrophes. The life it has taken on since has been distorted, or deformed." more ›

With nearly wall-to-wall coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks' tenth anniversary, the images from that day are being replayed over and over again. You can see old footage at the Internet Archive. And here are a few images from our readers from that day. more ›

Some of the most indelible images associated with the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 came from newspapers covers. Looking back through those front pages from 9/12/01, there is one overriding similarity between them: they almost all include a picture of the towers on fire. Newspapers around the country have taken a more varied approach toward covering the tenth anniversary of 9/11, and almost none have a picture of the burning towers on them, preferring instead to focus on the Freedom Tower, victims, or other abstract designs. Take a look through some of today's covers, including our favorite, the eloquent front of The NJ Star-Ledger. more ›

Today, New York City and the metropolitan area; Washington D.C.; Shanksville, Pennsylvania; and the rest of the country are remembering the September 11, 2001 attacks. That beautiful Tuesday ten years ago turned dark and unspeakably grim when planes struck the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Shanksville. In New York, President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush are at the World Trade Center's new National 9/11 Memorial, as are Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Governor George Pataki, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Governor Chris Christie and former Mayor Giuliani. more ›

This morning at 8:46 a.m., thousands of people formed a human chain from the tip of Lower Manhattan along the waterfront to past the World Trade Center site for the event Hand In Hand, Remembering 9/11. more ›
