Engineering Ground Zero

Hello people of the Internet,
In New York City, there is a new world trade center that is being built upon at Ground Zero. The tower being built is going to be more stable and supportive than it was before when it was first built.

What different "trades" (types of construction work) are featured in this video? Name at least three.
The types of "trade" that are featured in this video are:
  • Architecture trade
  • Electrical trade
  • Concrete trade
  • Plumbing trade
  • Steel trade

What aspect of the project is most interesting to you? Why is that?

The aspect of the project that is the most interesting to me is that the construction workers are building inward then outward with a stable base and middle on the inside. The reason is that the workers are making the building as safe as humanly possible in order to prevent another act of possible terrorism from succeeding again, and that they are now using the strongest tools to build it like concrete and steel.
