One WTC reaches Empire State height

WTC 1, the Freedom Tower, which will surpass 1,250 feet today, will taunt the Empire State Building (height: 1,250 feet) by lighting a blue and white color scheme this evening. Those colors were chosen to mock the Empire State Building’s controversial 2010 decision not to light the building in honor of the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth. Didn't see that coming.

Update - Andy: As luck would have it, I visited the 9/11 memorial yesterday and took this picture of One WTC [photo]

235 Great pic but it still leaves me feeling v. empty. Nothing will ever replace the Twin Towers.
