I grew up watching these being biult,and to take away something as majestic as these would be a dismantling of american pride,heritage and courage.Not only do these towers represent america but it represents what we strive for,being the best,and to let people who hate america win over our pride is to admit that we are a nation of cowards.Lets biuld these towers up again and stronger and taller,with better measures in place,to rebiuld with better consequences.GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Well the “Osama Bin Laden tower” has topped the street. This building is a friggin joke. It took almost a decade to build this atrocity. It took Dubai half of that to build the awesome Burj Khalifa. I hope you gov’t assholes enjoyed pissing my tax dollars on the al queda center. Will never visit this joke of a complex ever in my life. Rebuilding the tougher towers would have been quicker and cheaper to do.
I think that if we were to recreate these towers, it would represent this nation’s ability to emerge from our darkest times. It is our willpower that makes these united states proud. September 11th was one of our darkest days, but we stood strong. Hopefully one day the Twin Towers will also once again stand strong.
Not rebuilding the Twin Towers is like saying we’re too scared to rebuild them. Bring them back!! They were an icon in NYC, and we’d show that we can rebuild from something like 9/11.
we need our towers back this will show the world we can make it thru anyhting life can throw at us if we let them build the freedom tower it dont show the world nothing at all we need the towers back built bigger an better then before govt do the right thing an help heal those who were lost!!!!!!!!
It about time we take a stand as Americans. The Twin Towers were a symbol of Freedom through out the world. We are tought from childhood the when you get knocked down dust yourself off and get back up. Its the American way. This is why The Towers have to go back up just like a pheonix rising from the ashes. What was that famous movie that said “We’re Back” oh thats right Poltergeist.
Semper Fi
I want the Towers to be built all over again. I think they should be Taller and Bigger than before. I would even Volunteer myself for free to help build them again. I just want to see them on the skyline again.
Landmarks should never be replaced like they never existed. Just like when the White House was burned in the War of 1812, it was rebuilt, not torn down. What we should do is begin a protest at Ground Zero. That would be showing the officals that we want new twin towers, we spent too long telling. With the protest, this issue should get more publicity, and hopefully with the public having more knowledge, we could have more supporters than we ever dreamed of. We will succeed, and rebuild The WTC.
REBUILD THE WTC BIGGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE! I”D WORK THERE ANY DAY! AMERICA NEEDS TO SHOW ITS ENEMY THAT WE ARE TRIUMPHANT AND SHALL RESTORE OUR NYC SKYLINE!
There is a need for justice, peace, and TRUE hope. We have not seen that. We are still broken..plagued with health problems, mental health problems, and feelings of fright as well as insecurity. What have we done? That is a question to continue to ask ourselves. One way to heal us is to rebuild the towers as they were to express our unity and to demonstrate to the world we are not a different people.
I would really like America’s, and most importantly, OUR Twin Towers rebuilt. They are the true symbols of freedom here in America, both for business as well as fun and excitement around lower Manhattan. They would put the happiness and beauty back into the heart of New York, and the rest of the world as well. We NEED these towers. Everyone loves them, and we all know that it is not the same without them. I am a big Twin Towers person, probably the biggest Twin Towers person there ever was. And remember one thing people, they are OURS, so let’s do it. Let’s get them back !!!
As a kid i always looked forward to going to New York City and seeing the World Trade Centers and i remember my mom taking me out of school when they were hit. It was very devastating to watch and now that i am attempting to become a police officer in New York nothing would make me happier than to see first hand the buildings going back up. 😀
I remember looking at the twin towers when i was a kid, and gazing in awe at what an amazing country we were, and how we could build the greatest buildings that I’ve ever seen. I was in first grade when 9/11 happened. My most vivid memory was walking out of my front door on September 12, and being hit in the face with a cloud of ash. I asked my dad if they were going to rebuild the twin towers, and he said “I hope they will. And if they do, you can take your kids there,because I was never able to take you there.” He had told me that he was going to take me soon. Long live the twin towers.
i was a friend of the twins… i remember just staring in awe of their incredible height and would say to those who worked up there: “hows the weather up there?” the twins dont deserve to be honored with this whole “freedom tower” junk… REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!!!
I was born in Nassau County, New York, lived in Hicksville for nine years, moved to Missouri, now I live in Indiana. And after nine years, just turned 19-and-a-half, my love for my New Yorkers and New York itself is still strong. I say rebuild it, which was one of my thoughts after they collapsed. This time with equipped defense system, and variety of exit systems. I want them to be the first thing I see when I return home.
We need the Twin Towers back! They made the city and were iconic around the world. Countless times I have dreamed of going there, or even working there. Watching them collapse was heartbreaking to the core and to see this eye aching replacement is beyond sickening! New York City is not New York City without the Twin Towers there. I know we should and will never forget the tragedy of 9/11, but putting that “freedom” tower there as a replacement is a constant reminder of the helplessness that we felt on that day. Bringing the towers back will not be a “business as usual” symbol. It is a symbol of us getting through this hard time triumphantly. It is a way of healing.
I strongly believe that rebuilding the twin towers is the best solution. Terrorism is supposed to instill fear/terror to the citizens, creating distrust in their country. And it’s done by disrupting our everyday lives. Building anything else sends a message saying “You won, terrorists! We’re scared & incompetent, so we’re trying to cover it up with a fancy memorial.” Rebuilding the towers would say “Look, nothing changed. We’re a strong country & continuing to live our lives. You terrorists aren’t gonna get the satisfaction of making us live in fear”. I came here because of Penn & Teller’s BS show.
I made a comment here earlier referring to this as the Osama Bin laden tower and since he’s dead this building should be capped or you are building a memorial for him. The site was poorly planned and looks depressing. I support rebuilding the twin towers and only the twin towers, except no floor trusses this time and make the core concrete hardened.
TTA Note: Petitoners may only sign once. Normally we would combine the two comments, but the email address associated with this comment only appears once. We will write to that address and try to locate the other comment to combine or delete.
If any public officials do read these comments, I urge you to course correct and go with the plan offered by the Twin Towers Alliance. I grew up in New York till high school. The symbolism is all wrong concerning the current design. The memorial is depressing and the lone tower resembles a cemetery structure. The twin towers spoke so many important things. It spoke of trade between different people and countries (two side by side). It spoke of strength and boldness. Give us them back!
Never give up!
We want our Towers back – bigger and more mighty than ever!
As my brother Ray has immortalized in song:
‘We All Stand Tall’. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3XEKpunhRA
Apparently Us new yorkers dont want this one world trade center we need our twin towers back in command. I say lets finish this freedom tower but lets build our twin towers right beside the base for the north and south towers are there why not go for it. Its a nice building and i love the design but when you look across the river from jersery i expected to see the twin towers not the one trade tower. you want bigger lets have three buildings instead of 1
I BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY AS A NEW YORKER OR JUST BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF THE HEALING PROCESS OF US AS NEW YORKERS TO HAVE A PLACE TO GO TO REFLECT AND REMEMBER THE LIVES LOST ON THE THAT TRAGIC DAY. ON THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY THAT IS COMING SOON, I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO VISIT THE SITE AND PAY MY RESPECT AS A NEW YORKER AND A AMERICAN. NEVER FORGET !!!
I just have too many memories of always seeing the towers. I miss them dearly! My husband and I remember being in the windows of the world and always wanted to go back, but never got the chance.
I want the Twin Towers back exactly as they were! The Freedom tower doesn’t cut it! Nobody is going to heal with that thing sticking out of the skyline.
Please build the original Towers back! The rebuilding of them would signify that we Americans never stand down, and will only rebuild after defeat! Sadly, I was too little when I saw the original Towers to remember them, but if they were to be rebuilt, I could not be any happier! Please, everyone, let’s stand up for our freedom as Americans and have the Twin Towers rebuilt!!!!!!!
I love the twin towers and wish they were still there. I was born in 98 and was only 3 during 9/11, i lived in NY for 7 years. I wish the towers were still there so i would get a chance to see how amazing they are. I always feel sad when i think about how NYC won’t rebuild them. On 9/11 my dad arrived at his dealership in queens and noticed everyone was outside. He asked them what was going on and they said the WTC was hit by an airplane, my dad and family loved the WTC, and when he saw them collapse, he was in shock. And when I was in school today, we were watching a video about 9/11 and I almost cried. I love the WTC and i want it back. I don’t want the freedom tower, i want the NYC skyline, i want the twin towers.
i strongly belive we should rebuild the towers to show al qaeda and all other terrorists that the united states of america will not back down. we are united and stronger than that or the people that died on 9/11 died in vain. our armed forces, police, and firemen did all they could to find any surviving person they could. not rebuilding will show the brave men and women who searched and the families of loved ones who died that we dont care. well i do care and the least we can do is rebuild the towers to show respect to those who risked their lives living or deceased that our nation cares. So sign the petition to show support to those who are living deceased or lost loved ones that america cares!
Even though my home now is NJ, I feel like I grew up in NYC because my grandparents lived on Lower East Side, and we would go there once a week. The Twin Towers are the skyline of NYC — bring them back!!! Everyone wants them back — I can’t believe the NYC government didn’t give NYC what they want…and need. There’s still hope, so let’s believe!!! God bless all of our brothers and sisters who have died on 9-11-2001, and their families and friends. We will NEVER forget you!!! Thank you to all those who volunteered for and defended our great nation!!! God bless America and God bless NYC!!!
PLEASE REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS TO HOW THEY WERE BEFORE TO SHOW AMERICA’S DEFIANCE TO TERRORISM AND RESILIENCY AS A NATION AFTER ALL WE ARE “ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!!”

The only right thing to do is rebuild the towers.

Let’s rebuild them one floor higher!!!!!
Rebuild the twin towers but make them stronger higher and possibly add parachutes
i personally hate the freedom tower, bring back the twin towers, i feel we have not recovered since that horrible day.
Scrap the freedom tower and Rebuild the Twin Towers.

Please bring the Twin Towers back. Bring back NYC!
