9 minutes and 18 seconds of vertigo: footage from a camera strapped to the final segment of spire as it is hoisted into place atop WTC 1

Great video. Very interesting to see that view (looking down on the world financial center buildings) restored. That was approximately my view from 83 floor #1 WTC (north tower). I wonder if there will be an observation level or a windows on the world type top floor facility for the public to check out the views. Ate at windows on the world several times. Killer night views. Also a cocktail lounge that was fun too in the old WTC. (#2, south tower)

Yes to observation deck and, according to Wikipedia, no to a restaurant at the top: "A plan to build a restaurant near the top of the tower, similar to the original World Trade Center's Windows on the World, was abandoned as logistically impractical."
