The hope of America lies not in suburban sprawl, but in building tall. Let’s reach to the skies for inspiration. Innovative engineers stand ready to answer any challenge. Give us the chance and we’ll give greatness. Rebuild the Twin Towers taller!
The WTC Memorial looks like one designed by Bin-Laden, not by an American. Two holes in lieu of two majestic towers are exactly what he wished.
The entire 16-acre site should be developed above ground into a true 9/11 Memorial with the Twin Towers and their plaza as its centerpiece, and below ground into a 9/11 Museum and Mausoleums holding the unidentified remains.
A beautiful park with benches shaded by trees around pools of water reflecting the names of those who perished should cover the entire site at the base of new Memorial Twin Towers risen from their ashes in the memory of those who perished inside, and a new Memorial Austin Tobin Plaza built in the memory of those who jumped from the inferno above.
Every little corner of the towers and every square inch of the plaza are full of memories belonging not only to the loved ones, but to our nation’s history as well. This is the site of an event that changed the course of history. If we can rebuild the spaces where 3000 innocent Americans spent their last moments of their life, we definitely should.
Moreover, prior to September 11, the towers were the signatures of Manhattan’s skyline for over 30 years, complementing the statue of Liberty, standing tall by it as the proof of prosperity in a free society. We must rebuild the towers, not one, not five, but two, with their magical power of reflecting the ever changing sky, from sunrise to sunset.
Our country’s approach to the WTC site is fundamental flawed. The terrorists only objective is to instill terror in the living hopeing to create a shift in public policy. By leaving two gigantic voids in lower Manhattan we have played directly into the terrorist hands. Posters of “Reflecting Absence” will hang in every al-Qaeda cave as a monument to their success. In defiance of the terrorists we should create a Memorial that celebrates the lives of those lost instead of morn. Bottom line – I believe those we lost on September 11th are looking down on us hoping we stand tall and build something to inspire fellow New Yorkers and the World.
I am proud to become a small part of your enormous endeavor. Though I may disagree with the design concepts, I agree that we must rebuild. May God enable us to create an awe inspiring tribute to the victims and their loved ones!!!
This was my first thought after the towers fell. We need to rebuild them, taller and stronger than they were before. Nothing will show our resolve more clearly, than to reconstruct what was taken from us on that day, as best we can.
No other construction or memorial on the ‘ground zero’ site will ever equal the statement that restoring the twin towers will make.
We are the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. We don’t back down to acts of terrorism, we stand tall. Let the Twin Towers rise again and show a symbolic measure of strength.
Even though i’m not american, I’m British. I Still Believe that the Twin Towers should Be Built along side the freedom tower. The Twin Towers can represent New York as a strong City that can never be blown down and the Freedom tower can represent a New York that will never stop growing.
Replace what was taken away. To those who believe rebuilding would only invite a third attack, I respectfully insist that the issue is not the design of the towers but our resolve to rid the planet of the menace of Islamist extremism. To aknowledge such fear is to understand that there is still much work to be done before we’re truly free. Anything short of rebuilding smacks of concession to the enemy and may well prove to be no more than a monument to caving into fear.
If the walls inside the Empire State Building are marble, and the monuments and memorials in D.C. have these kinds of memorials, then why can’t we incorporate the two?
By engraving their names, and rebuilding our towers, we are saying that we will continue to live our lives the way WE choose, and NOTHING they do can change that, and those lost will be immortalized, and will be a permanent part of the foundation.
By changing the design, we are admitting that they have an effect on us, that we fear them, and that they can control us.
I am a residential drafter. I love Historical Architecture and would love to see the towers built back as they were, in appearance. But, with better, more solid and safe construction.
Rebuild the Towers! Better, greener, & stronger. The Dresden Frauenkirche was rebuilt decades after its useless destruction near the end of WWII. Why do some Americans lack the resolve to rebuild the twin towers? Why not dedicate a floor in each new towers at the impact location as memorials to those we lost on 9/11. A living museum is what need,not a silly park or a new icon.
Why do our leaders lack the vision and understanding to do so ? We must rebuild the towers.
As an engineer and a former Marine I understand both the form and the substance of what the twin towers embodied; I also understand what our enemies were truly trying to destroy on 9-11. We owe those who were lost on 9-11, and we owe it to the cavemen who tried to destroy us, to rebuild the twin towers taller, stronger, bolder and more magnificent and defiant than ever.
we get the towers: we’re showing we are better than them and we will have a lot of jobs. we build Freedom towers: we are showing that we are wimps and that we have no strength and we’ll look at 3 shiny, futuristic towers that show we’re BIG WIMPS.
2,974 people (not including the hijackers) died in New York on September 11. I think the height of the towers should be 2,974 feet tall!! Beating Burj Dubai @ 2,684ft by 290 feet. Symbolic for each AMERICAN fatality and being the biggest tower in the world.
Since the idea of a skyscraper first came from America, the U.S. should have the tallest one today. I want to see America have the first and second tallest.
I am a CAD Drafter in a small firm in Times Square and can’t agree more. Nothing than re-building the towers will let the world know that we are still one big strong country and that they will not chnage us. I say rebuild them right back and also as a New Yorker for the the last 22 years, which is my whole life, it is sadness to look over Manhattan and not see the towers. The towers were a symbol to us New Yorkers and it is not the same without them.
The initial fall of the towers did not effect me as others. When I learned NYC was not going to rebuild I was shocked. As a CAD operator I thought we should rebuild, even connect the two future towers. To see that would move the world.
A RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE TOWERS
Rebuild the towers
Lets rebuild this thing today! The towers need to be rebuilt Bigger and Stronger. Say no to Terrorism.
The hope of America lies not in suburban sprawl, but in building tall. Let’s reach to the skies for inspiration. Innovative engineers stand ready to answer any challenge. Give us the chance and we’ll give greatness. Rebuild the Twin Towers taller!

Rebuild the towers !!
Restore the skyline, erase this terrible deed. Get on with it…
New York skyline without twin towers is… a big nosense!!
I am proud to become a small part of your enormous endeavor. Though I may disagree with the design concepts, I agree that we must rebuild. May God enable us to create an awe inspiring tribute to the victims and their loved ones!!!
I miss the skyline, the symbol of this great city. I agree to reconstruction and a memorial anything less will be a shame. Bring it back.
This was my first thought after the towers fell. We need to rebuild them, taller and stronger than they were before. Nothing will show our resolve more clearly, than to reconstruct what was taken from us on that day, as best we can.

Support rebuild
We are the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. We don’t back down to acts of terrorism, we stand tall. Let the Twin Towers rise again and show a symbolic measure of strength.
Even though i’m not american, I’m British. I Still Believe that the Twin Towers should Be Built along side the freedom tower. The Twin Towers can represent New York as a strong City that can never be blown down and the Freedom tower can represent a New York that will never stop growing.
i think we should rebuild the twin towers the same as before not a freedom tower. i say rebuild the twin towers the same but stronger.
im an american i think they should rebuild the twin towers because its stronger&nicer than some stupid freedom tower.

I am one of the partners of Yamasaki Associates, the architect of the Twin Towers. We would love to see our building back on NY’s skyline.
If the walls inside the Empire State Building are marble, and the monuments and memorials in D.C. have these kinds of memorials, then why can’t we incorporate the two?
By engraving their names, and rebuilding our towers, we are saying that we will continue to live our lives the way WE choose, and NOTHING they do can change that, and those lost will be immortalized, and will be a permanent part of the foundation.
By changing the design, we are admitting that they have an effect on us, that we fear them, and that they can control us.
So why give them that power?
No other design could ever be (or has been to date) as inspired as the original. The two towers were meant for this site.
