The Freedom Tower was clear and visible yesterday, from the Compo jetty:

And finally … on this day in 1982, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was released. It went on to become the biggest-selling album of all time (66 million copies). And the video below has a mere 654 million views.

  1. Sorry but that photo needs proof… I’m calling BS

  2. Great photo of the skyline. Crazily, I have seen it too. Impressive!

    MJ Thriller: we took a tour of LA last year and our driver took us up to a regular street on a hill with a bunch of ‘victorian’ style houses. He pointed out
    that right there was the Thriller house with a nice coat of paint, looking not so scary. They rented it for the shoot 40 years ago.

  3. That picture is absolutely not from Compo beach.

  4. Awesome pic of the tower
