It'd be interesting to watch this done. I thought I saw that there's a live video stream of it somewhere

Here's a site with some info on how the project is being done.

There was a show on TV a week or so ago with the engineers talking
about all of the problems posed by this project and how they are going
to deal with them.
Unfortunately some bozo shot up the navy yard so there won't be much
else on TV for a week, even though they still don't know much and they
are telling us that wall to wall.,
Another interesting video.

It is up!
They had it upright by midnight EST. I wasn't watching so it was
probably up before that.
Here's a time lapse video of the raising.
