Summary:

Nova returns to Ground Zero to witness the completion of One World Trade Center, the skyscraper rising 104 stories and 1,776 feet from the site where the twin towers stood. As the super storm Sandy bore down on New York, many feared that the still-incomplete structures would be especially vulnerable to the storm's wrath. Nova reveals the engineering story behind their remarkable resilience to nature's worst blows. The greatest test is still to come, though: will the final product be a fitting site for national remembrance?
