That is absolutely insane and totally scary.

If a worker jumps to his death from the top floor under construction what floor does the newspaper say he jumped from and how do the word it? I'll be they don't say he jumped from the top side of the ceiling of the 20th floor, they will say he jumped from the 21st floor.
to answer your question I still need some more facts, if its the 20th or 21st floor he jumped from.. Please tell me if it was raining outside or snowing during the time, and what was the wind speed and direction? was he wearing a suit or casual clothing and did he or did he not have lunch? Just needing all the fact before i can answer you the floor jumping question. Since we have some picky people on this board i need to know some facts before i can post my answer
Stop ruining the thread. Who really cares what floor they are on? Just be happy there is a building being built that we can talk about.
Agree. This is getting boring. How about some fresh shots of the lower sections of the building for those of us that don't live in OKC.
The video was taken down by YouTube. Can anyone tell me what was on it? On the "what constitutes a floor" question, I don't think it will matter what floor, ceiling, or whatever a guy jumps from, he'll end up on the ground floor. I'm pretty sure he won't care by then what floor he jumped from lol.
Youtube is blocked at work so I could not watch the video. Now it has been pulled. What was it about?
Just need to add that the speaker will be the lead *structural* engineer for the tower. I skipped a fairly key word there in my post and I guess I can't edit it.
So he probably won't know about the lighting.
^^Hard to imagine that The Burj Dubai is over 3 times as tall as The Devon tower will be!!!In 50 years or less there will be 3-4 taller towers in The World!
Was excited to notice Monday that the crane had bumped over the weekend and was way over the OK Tower. Then this morning, driving from Edmond, I was finally able to see a pillar peeking up above the Oklahoma Tower - so the Devon Tower has nearly cleared the other towers in town from every viewpoint (Unless you happen to be sitting right behind the chase tower I guess).
UnFrSaKN, could you post your comparative diagram on the Skyscrapercity.com site under the Oklahoma City thread? Might raise (or lower) some eyebrows!
I'm sooo happy for you. I noticed this today. What will be awesome is driving south on BWE at night and seeing the construction lights over the OkTower. They're actually on the 22nd floor so it will be a few weeks before lights will beam over the top of the tower! But I can't wait!!

David... I just took some fresh pictures of the tower today. One is a close up of the interior construction on the first floor.

Overall it looks like the tower is close to 450 feet right now.
Great pics B Mac. One question I have: you stated "You can see the progress of the data center on the left hand side of the picture below." This is a picture from Hudson looking east at the tower and the "Podium" on the left hand side of the screen. Isn't the podium for meeting/conference rooms and gathering spaces? I believe the data center was moved offsite and that is why they lowered the height of the tower from 925 to 850 feet. Please correct me if I am wrong.
you can see 2 emergency vehicles on the okc skyline cam
