A final steel beam was lifted Monday atop a new World Trade Center
skyscraper _ the first expected to open at the site next year since the
twin towers were decimated on 9/11.

rope hoisted by a crane.
A U.S. flag attached to the bottom of the beam fluttered above several hundred spectators at the topping-off ceremony.
