Watch the One World Trade Center Spire Get Lifted 104 Stories [Video + Pics]

On Thursday, May 2, a 408-foot-tall, 12-ton spire was lifted 104 stories where it will eventually be secured in place at the top of One WTC (World Trade Center) in New York City.

The entire process took only 20 minutes, and our friends at Gizmodo shot not only photos, but a video of the event (don’t worry; it’s only 2 minutes long)!
