I doubt that's near the end of construction, looks like just all the slab is done. The fun part is when you do all the mechanical and interior stuff. Especially building a safe.

Naa that's it complete. They decided to save on air conditioning by using fresh air ventilation. Who needs walls.

Perhaps that is all these workers were contracted to do. Or just the near end of this phase of work - the foundation and framework. But yes, it is certainly nowhere near done.

I wonder if any of them could point themselves out on that photo.

For sure they could. This was something that a person remembers.

There has never been a single gathering of people larger than the crowd at Trump’s inauguration. So says that our Lord and Savior Donald. /s of course

This is what you would want to be seeing in Katar with the workers who built the stadiums 🏟. Instead...

I wonder how much the labor cost to get this picture IRL. Today, they would do it with CGI.

A lot because construction was a well-paying profession in those days. Even non-union construction workers got paid well, but this was NYC, so those guys were probably making ... a lot.
