- Sewermutt, on 10/05/2009, -7/+121Fake. There's no way they can build a 92 story building in 2 minutes like that.
- EMFK, on 10/05/2009, -1/+49Cool except having to put up with hearing The Donald. :-)
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/05/2009, -0/+34I was staring at this monumental structure today thinking about how magnificent a contribution it is to the Chicago skyline. I'm glad that they took the time to really profile it.
- cyrusuncc, on 10/05/2009, -0/+33That's what she said!
- MuffinPatrol, on 10/05/2009, -0/+29It would need to be at least....three times longer.
- DaRkSkye, on 10/05/2009, -1/+23Here is a link to the direct MOV file. The stupid flash wrappers they put around it kept hosing for me. Plus, this way you can turn down the audio!
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/quicktime/2008 ... - ObeseSnake, on 10/05/2009, -0/+17Also, the 15,000 square foot penthouse, with 16 foot floor to ceiling windows, is going for $40 million but Trump has said that it's negotiable.
- kb9vgr, on 10/05/2009, -0/+15it disassembles its self and then they truck it down the construction elevator thats on the side of the building where the river is then when there done with the elevator it comes down by taking one section out from the bottom at a time while finishing the panels that were left off for the elevator supports
i watch too much history/discovery channel - ObeseSnake, on 10/05/2009, -0/+15Second-tallest building in the United States right behind the Sears (Willis) Tower at number one.
- zerton, on 10/05/2009, -0/+14same architect
- PhillyOC, on 10/05/2009, -3/+16Rockefeller did the same type of thing. He's not being arrogant, he's leaving behind a legacy.
- ohplease, on 10/05/2009, -4/+17Trump Tower was an inside job!
http://www.trumptowertruth.org - papashawn, on 10/05/2009, -2/+15The arrogant bastard had his initials stamped on all the girders, heating ducts, etc.
- Balath, on 10/05/2009, -1/+13I turned my speakers to silent. That fixed it.
- gerrylazlo, on 10/05/2009, -0/+12It looks like a snub-nosed version of the burj dubai.
- badqat, on 10/05/2009, -3/+15Aw, he's so cuddly and sweet...and such perfect hair... :-p
- PhillyOC, on 10/05/2009, -0/+12Hmmph.. I could have done it in 1:50. Haha.
But for real, this is a really great promotional tool for selling future investors on new builds. It makes it look so easy and quick when viewed like this. - gimpsta, on 10/05/2009, -1/+13Link not working for me, here's a mirror (I assume it's the same one?)
http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/fea ... - absolutelytrue, on 10/05/2009, -6/+18Wow, I've seen quick construction before, but this takes the cake. How did they do it so fast?
- Gndoab, on 10/05/2009, -2/+13I'll bid two hundred dollars.
- Hetman, on 10/05/2009, -0/+11Yea he has a huge ego. If you stay at one of his hotels he even stocks the fridge with his own water bottles. It is the most bizarre thing ever to be drinking out of a water bottle with a big picture of Trump stamped on the label.
- clt829, on 10/05/2009, -0/+116 Days dumber dumbass.
- kayosthery, on 10/05/2009, -1/+10Only because of the weak-ass spire they put on top.
- rob132, on 10/05/2009, -0/+9How'd they get that crane down?
- acid_jazz, on 10/05/2009, -0/+9Push it into the river.
- wild, on 10/05/2009, -0/+9Hey kb9vgr, are you on Depro Provera? 'Cause you're badly in need of a period...
- R3publican, on 10/05/2009, -0/+8The contractors think that if they don't finish it quickly, they won't get paid. Little do they know, Trump will fail to pay them regardless.
- digger28, on 10/05/2009, -2/+10It sucks that Trump chickened out after 9/11 and shortened the building. The was originally planned to be the tallest building in the USA
- Awwzm, on 10/05/2009, -3/+11Seizure in 3, 2, ....
- frankglez, on 10/05/2009, -0/+8You mean its not made of solid gold?
- R3publican, on 10/05/2009, -0/+7No, that would be a Hilton.
- studdenfadden, on 10/05/2009, -0/+7An even bigger crane...
- inactive, on 10/05/2009, -2/+7I round up.
- Hetman, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5It is a beautifull building and it does fit nicely on wabash and the river. However I thought it would have a bigger affect on sky line. If you are comming from the south or the west it just seems to melt into the background. I think this has a lot to do with its color. Even though it is taller than the John Hancock building it does not stand out as much because it is not black. The sears tower "willis" and the hancock building still seem to dominate the sky line.
- rheaume, on 10/05/2009, -2/+7Uhm the earth was made in 7 minutes or something
- papashawn, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5or Dirty Taco perhaps...
- Gndoab, on 10/05/2009, -3/+8Meh. I'd take the Empire state building of that anyday
- kimbomitt, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5The crane is actually Optimus Prime
- wild, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5Well, both really.
- bundwallah, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5Pfftt.. He didn't start from scratch. He got it from daddy. I give him some credit for learning the business, mind you , this is the guy that lost money running a casino.
- ryanfaith88, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5Create an envelope where inside everything moves quickly, but outside the bubble, only two minutes have passed.
To unlock it, you need the Wikkit Gate. - tastybbq, on 10/05/2009, -3/+7You should consider jumping off a cliff.
- MrBrotato, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4It's obviously just you.
- nmanguy, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4I was wondering that too. My guess was a few helicopters take it down piece by piece or something.
- digger28, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4Why not? He is the one that made the call to cut some floors off the top.
- kimbomitt, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4@jattea I don't actually know anything about Transformers other than having seen the first movie. I was going on the assumption that Optimus Prime is awesome and can do anything.
- lewystud, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4its $30 million but still just out of reach
-chicago spire condo was $40 million to Ty Warner - samk, on 10/05/2009, -2/+6$201.
- Hetman, on 10/05/2009, -2/+5Trump did not even want that. That was passed by the city and there was nothing trump could do about it.
