Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009 | Updated 10:02 AM EDT

Over at Restless, a round-up of construction site photos leads to this observation: "And finally, the champion of all construction sights is still 15 Union Square West, which manages to look like a typhoon hit it, above left, as it stands on the launch gantry, above right, ready to blast off." A Soviet rocket launcher is then presented for comparison. Gotta say, there are some similarities, though black market Soviet nukes are probably cheaper than apartments at 15 USW.
