WTC Official Start of Construction

STAR-SPANGLED START FOR WTC.
Nearly three years after the Twin Towers fell, a 20-ton block of granite will be set in place tomorrow to mark the official start of construction on the 1,776-foot tower that will rise on the site of the World Trade Center.
The cornerstone-laying is “an incredible step for the rebuilding of Ground Zero,” said Daniel Libeskind, the designer who conceived the site’s original master plan.
The Freedom Tower is set to rise in a corner of the site that still holds the ruins of a parking garage, and will be the tallest skyscraper in the world. It will be five years until it is completed.
