Removing the Tower Caps

I mentioned in my last post that they had brought in a large crane and were doing work on the upper exterior walls.  I noticed the other day that workers were up inside the towers and that they were cutting holes in the roof and I could see that they were placing I-beam struts in a cross position in the roofs of the towers and eventually would hook the crane to the beams and lift the roofs off of the towers and place them on the ground.  I wish that I had been paying closer attention and actually watched them lift them off but missed that, (I guess I do have to work while sitting in my office.)  Today they are hauling out the old brick that was removed from the interior as you can see the trucks in the lower corner of the picture.


The 2 east towers have had the roofs removed.


You can see the two tower roofs sitting on the ground in the middle of the picture, one is behind the tree.  Sorry the large white item in the lower left is a reflection off the window of papers in my office.
