Counting Down to Hallowe'en: One World Trade Center


Image Source: Ellie Photography Blog.

One World Trade Center is the sky-scraper built in New York City to replace the Twin Towers, which were destroyed by hijacked airplanes on 9/11. Completed in 2013, the new building, also known as the Freedom Tower, made an eerie wailing sound when the wind blew in a certain way. This was during construction, when the building formed a natural aeolian wind harp. Or perhaps the surrounding buildings make a wind tunnel. See videos below the jump which recorded the haunting sound. Despite the rational explanations, one can hardly blame people for being superstitious in this case.
