    GREAT SHOT, I saw a photo like that of the WTC at the memorial. I was there for the anniversary and saw many people crying and as well as moments of extreme beauty. I saw that and it was like the WTC was reaching to heaven. More than half the buildings were showing yet you could not see any other buildings in lower Manhattan. I had to take a picture of the huge print.
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    it looks like something out of star wars.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Just for perspective, around how tall are some of the other bildings just sticking above the clouds (how many stories)?

    Not exactly amusement parks, but they do have some entertainment facilities: an indoor ski park, I believe they're also building an indoor beach resort, and they're building some kind of ginormous sporting facility which will include football/soccer fields, golf courses, an F1 track, indoor rock climbing and other stuff.

    That's correct Matt. They also have an indoor ski hill.
