editor Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 A Subway restaurant has been built into a shipping container and placed on top of the Freedom Tower/One World Trade Center so that steelworkers can have lunch without having to go all the way back down to the ground.Video from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey:<embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1711742151" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=58805451001&playerId=1711742151&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Is that a steel-framed structure? I was under the impression that poured concrete is now the preferred method, especially since the WTC's basically melted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some exceptionally knowledgeable people on that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
