How soon before they start adding glass panels at the top section of the tower?

Should be any time now. I think someone said their going vertically with the panels now instead of horizontally across one floor.

[Pete]

Regarding the glass, a recent report said they would no longer be adding it one floor at a time, rather they would be doing it in vertical strips.

You can see on the construction cam that is already starting to happen on the southern side.

A friend employed down there tells me that something else fell from the building and flattened a car on top of the parking garage. The news isn't substantiating it yet that I can see.

EDIT: Well, a picture shows that it isn't FLATTENED, per se...but it's certainly damaged beyond drivable. The windshield and part of the roof is caved in slightly.

Unfrskn must have dropped his video port folio.

It looks like a pole fell off the side of the smaller building or the tower and landed on a car in the parking garage doing damage to it and the car next to it.

Several of our folks went out - the blue car in UnFrSaKn's pic was hit so hard the airbag deployed and car is probably totaled - frame bent. Other vehicle not so bad but substantial damage. OSHA folks were out there fast. The two owners were actually walking to their respective vehicles to go home. Good thing they didn't sneak out early.
The pole was purportedly removed from the scene quickly.

At least the white van is safe.

[UnFrSaKn]

Alas, the white van has faded into obscurity. It shall not be forgotten.

[Dustin]

Good thing they weren't in their vehicles. The person driving the truck might of gotten lucky, the person driving the car not so much...

[kevinpate]

At least the white van is safe.

FWIW, I laughed. Long live the white van!

[Mike63]

That pole could be one of the poles that hold the nets.

[lasomeday]

I hate the white van! It has been parked in my spot the last three days!

I did find out the blue car was totalled. It was a Cavalier, so I am sure the owner will be happy to get a newer car! The other car Toyota Prius had substantial damage, but not totalled. Glass also hit the car next to them, but not sure how much.

[lasomeday]

The pole now sits on the smaller building next to the tower, although one of the net poles is missing!

This may sound crazy but everytime something falls and the Devon construction having something to do with it, It makes me question how strong the tower/glass is.

Just you wait until next Spring...

Yesterday I was working on a gazebo I am building, I dropped 5 screws while working. Now Imagine that monster tower with all the parts involved, all the people, and a nearly constant breeze blowing. Things happen, they are human too. I think they have done a splendid job considering the scale of the project.

I'm at Oklahoma City Museum of Art now for that lecture with Jon Pickard.

[UnFrSaKn]

It was a wonderful lecture and presentation. Our friend Steve Lackmeyer made it despite having laryngitis. I ended up being the very last person he talked to before he had to go to diner. I wouldn't call it "meeting" because there wasn't a dialogue but got to shake hands. I saw video camera as I walked in, so I hope they recorded it. Steve recorded audio.
