NEW YORK (AP) -- Builders of the tallest office tower under construction at ground zero have set a 70-ton piece of steel into place - the largest column installed yet at the building.
Each steel column - made at a factory in Luxembourg - is about 60 feet long. The columns at the bottom of the tower's foundation are about 35 feet long.
