After countless delays and setbacks, all New Yorkers can agree that today marks a major accomplishment at Ground Zero. Earlier today, construction workers installed a Subway sandwich shop atop a crane that will rise alongside the Freedom Tower during construction.

The Subway will be elevated higher and higher until it reaches the 105th floor — about equivalent to the height of the World Trade Center's Windows on the World restaurant.
