Very COOL!

I have been following this Thread for a while now. I am excited to see the tower develop. Wish I could be there to see it go up. I am from OKC, but currently living in Japan.
Thank you for all the pictures. Please keep them coming.

Wonder what those Devon workers thought during the earthquake. Must have been fun working at the top.

I know they stopped working for about 10 or so minutes afterward.

especially the crane operators

Any word if the tower is still standing? Still safe? Any cracks or shifts? All cranes still in the air?

[UnFrSaKn]

Really?

If it totally imploded on itself, I think we would have heard about it by now. I'm sure some things may have shifted a little. It wasn't that bad.

Floor 8 is cracked noticeably, but they aren't worried about it needing to be fixed, should be fine that concrete is pretty strong. one guy fell off the building, but landed on a safety net, crane guys shaken up a little.

Yeah, I saw that on that on the news today. Amazing video footage from KFOR.

Yeah, the fact that they were in the right place at the right time...AMAZING. No wonder they have HD. They have a contract with aliens!

4.3 should not do any structural damage to the tower, if it did, then there's some engineering issues that should be worked out before they continue.

Ya'll are evil!

Been out of town all month - back in two weeks. Thanks all for pictures since I've missed my daily fix!

uhh....that doesn't sound very insignificant to me...but I'm not an engineer.

I'm not meaning to state the obvious, but glass has begun on the 7th level and you can also see the new crawler crane boom being assembled next to the trailers.

Dump the UGS. You should pay attention to the OGS and they say it is a 5.1.

Is it possible to prepare the crack?

I've heard they're going to have to demo the entire tower and start over now.

Sorry, Thunder. You just make it so easy. LOL

[Thunder]

If its just a crack in the floor, I am sure it can be fixed easily. They'd need to inspect the other towers.

PPPPSSSTTTT!!!!! They were kidding about that stuff..

I'm convinced Thunder is the Andy Kaufman of OKCtalk. Sometimes I think the joke is really on us.

[Dar405301]

what's the floor count now? are they working on the 17th floor?

[Pete]

The floor that is just being completed is the 15th.

[K5FAL]

That's weird. I count 14. Have I had too many beers?
