NYC - East Bathtub at Ground Zero

New York Times has some good panoramas with sound effects of the excavation of the "East Bathtub" site at 40 & 80 feet, impressive
on full screen - like all of Adelaide's loaders / excavators on the one site.

That's a great 360 view, never seen it used with sound effects like that before. Thanks for posting mate.

Wow. Check out the steel ties in the walls - I remember reading an article about the cleanup of the WTC site and how they were worried about the pressure from the river might cause the pit to collapse when they took the debris out of it - it mentioned that they had to do that steel tieback thing when originally building it - and they weren't sure for a while if it would all be in-tact.
