Construction lights on 1 World Trade Center, blacked out by Hurricane Sandy four days ago, snapped on again late yesterday. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said generators were filling in for crippled utilities that have left much of lower Manhattan dark.
The construction will help return a sense of normalcy to the area, Cuomo said at a news briefing in Manhattan. Work on the 1,776-foot (541-meter) tower, a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, hadn’t been expected to resume for as long as three weeks, as power to the area slowly returns.
