Downtown Manhattan

Today we took a trip to downtown Manhattan to visit Ground Zero and another site that I knew about (West 35TH and 10TH AVE) The reason for visiting 35th and 10th was because of the tower crane at this site, I have never seen a non-luffing tower crane in NY so we figured why not go and visit it. After visiting it we seen that you can get right below it, even as close where when he swings the counterweights are literally above your ahead. Most of the pictures and video from today were of tower cranes which I am glad because I do not have much pics and videos of.

Drill rig on a street

Walking home from school on Friday I spotted a mast of a Bauer drill. After walking over to it I found it was a BG24. This morning I was hoping it would still be on the street and luckly it was, it isn't often that I can find one on a street so enjoy!

Train Horns

Here is one of my favorite videos from the demolition of a hospital around the block from me. If you notice in the video when he blows the horn, which there are 3 per truck, it "scares the shit outta me" as I told the guy I knew there... lol These are some of the loudest trucks I have heard

Filming

When ever I watch a youtube video I always wonder where was it filmed, what camera, how was it filmed ETC. I made this video to show everyone me and my brother vinny (www.youtube.com/cat325ccr) filmed the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site on February 22 &23, 2011. We shot all the videos and pictures from the 40th floor APX. 450 feet in the air from a small tiny window that opened just enough to fit a lens through. I was an amazing experience to say the last, staying up until 2AM watching the Mani. 18000 lift iron. All together there was around 200 gig taken between the two of us in the two days. The video shows just alittle of how it was done, I am mad that I did get a video of pictures of us filming at night with hats and gloves on out the window... lol

Enjoy!
