This video makes me proud to be a New Yorker!

EarthCam produced an official time-lapse video of the construction of One World Trade Center.  The video footage begins in October of 2004 when the initial construction got underway.  It covers an 11 year time period right through this past Memorial Day 2015. when the building was finished.

“Hundreds of thousands of high definition images were captured over the past 11 years and hand-edited for this exclusive time-lapse movie,” EarthCam writes. All the photos and the original camera have been donated to the National September 11 Memorial Museum.

Regardless of what we endure as Americans, our fighting, persevering spirit  just can't be squelched. We always rise again! One World Trade Center is now the tallest building in the United States, and the 4th tallest in the world!
