Before the true answer, I spoke with #3 son John and found that my question was not specific enough. My reason for writing this question was to move each of you to ask your parents for help. Then I thought your parents could use the TV or computer/internet to find out about this one hour program on the building of this tallest in the USA, yes 1776' high. Why this amount? Beacause the last 5 minutes of this program one of the four who built this building explains why and how this team put every part together with another part.
I was amazed and then I was able to understand. So I thought you all being Weiland Warriors would like to know more. Maybe even hav an interest in how buildings are built. For example, there had to be perfect union with all areas before work could start. For example, wind direction and speed, weather, temperature, humidity, rain, snow, sleet, hail, etc. All, every possibility of error had to be not. Never there. That's a double negative we do not use in the English language, but in Russian language a TRAIN WALKS. So all the different parts must be absolutely in harmony (just like the band) when it plays. No errors so when two parts of metal are joined, one has a hole in it and the other has whole in it and then a big bolt is passed through these two parts and must line up perfectly. All in the area had to be absolutely quiet so these four men went to work. These two parts together use all kinds of instruments to make sure this happened. Absolute quiet. Step one complete, now many people come and fill in all the "holes" that need these big bolts through all the parts. Then a big nut goes into the thread (your dads will show you).
These four men built this building. Yes, thousands of others started to work now connecting all the other parts, then these four men move on to connect the next parts, then the next and so on. For years, almost every single day, until it was finished just a little while ago. Remember, this was the most perfect building to date, no errors.
After September 11, 2001 and all those people lost their lives, some things were changed in the replacement building so there would be more physical structural help for example wide, really wide stairs and tape on the stairs so if some was there, people could see. Pressure inside the the stairwell so people could breathe better and so on. for many, many, many in proving building changes!
Watch this one hour PBS program. It might interest you in learning more about his this 1776' building was constructed.
Love you all,
Pops, Grandpa, the Old Geezer
PS Please find $2.00 for each of you. My error I did not explain the question well enough according to John. Ok. He said, "Dad this was fun. How about more questions for us to work on?" Ok.
