I worked on the 33rd floor at the time, and building workers were able to tour the set after shooting wrapped. The following is from an info sheet published by building management:<br />- The cast and crew at 444 included approximately 250 people.<br />- Demolition took 4 days.<br />- Set construction 3 days.<br />- Filming 5 days.<br />- Both day and night filming took place at 444.<br />- One day shooting usually results in 1 to 1/2 minutes film time. <br />- Tommy Lee Jones was the star for much of the shooting on the 27th floor. <br />- This past Saturday, a scene was shot in 444’s lobby with Harrison Ford.
