By not rebuilding the Twin Towers, and replacing them with something else, is to admit defeat! It is to admit that what the terrorists hate about America is offensive and should be changed. By not rebuilding the Twin Towers (meaning something closely resembling them) we are letting the terrorists choose our landscape. We are giving voice to the preferences of those who seek to destroy us.
Let’s build them back exactly as they were! Establish an international fund, I want to contribute, others will too! Not that the money will be needed, but it should be used, to show the morons and cockroaches that the whole world is against them! This from a Romanian – God Bless America!

I WANT OLD TWIN TOWER I WANT NEW YORK
i remember the day as if it was yesterday. and i strongly believe that yes it would be awesome to re-build the twin towers, and send a message to all others. no decent person on this earth will be beaten by terrorists.
I can think of no better memorial to the innocent victims, and show of resilience against the perpetrators & supporters of this heinous act, than to rebuild the towers.
It is my belief that the towers should be rebuilt as the only appropriate symbol of rebirth, defiance and people’s triumph over any tyranny.
It is also my belief that choosing the most controversial and despised design is a smokescreen, hiding the fact that NOTHING is going to be built on that spot. This is because the people making the decisions have no will and perhaps even no means to invest in a project this big. ‘Seven fat years’ are over.
Every image of New York today, in film and the press, showing a void where the towers stood is a tribute to the determination of those who brought them down. So would be any subsequent development that does not match the visceral impact of the original. Symbols are powerful and this is all about symbolism; the enemy clearly understands this, why is it eluding the political leadership? Rebuild them bigger, and better, monuments to strength, determination, resilience, and perserverence.
There can be no stronger symbol of defiance to the terrorists and memorial to those killed than to rebuild these magnificent structures as outlined within this plan. Even the memorial gardens and ‘rebuilt’ remains of the original ‘footprints’ are breathtaking. Great idea and I really hope you win.This should really go to the public vote across the US, to gauge the REAL majority opinion. If the plan to rebuild was defeated in this way, then I’d be disappointed, but it would at least be fair.

The twin towers were more than just office buildings – they were potent symbols of strength and freedom. Rebuilding them would restore our confidence and do justice to the thousands who died on that day.
Ever since I was a little kid staying in India I would dream that one day I would get to see the twin towers in person. However that was not to be cause of some maniac who thought he could de-stabilise America by bombs. To restore the glory of NY skyline I say we should rebuild the towers and the new towers should be grander than before. This is the only way to give a befitting reply to the morons who are jealous of Americas freedom.
They should definatly rebuild the Twin Towers. And build them even higher. NY just won’t be the same with any other buildings put in their place. I went to NY in 1995 and went up the South tower. It was just amazing.
Seeing those proud, majestic buildings on the skyline again would be so wonderful. A big ya boo sucks to those people who want to scare the USA.
The Twin Towers were iconic.
New York & the world are not the same without them.
What better way to say a big *f you* to the terrorists then to rebuild them.
Rebuilding them would be the best memorial possible.
It would say we are resiliant and will not give in to terrorists.

WITH THE REBUILDING OF TWIN TOWERS BACK AMERICA WILL PROVE THAT IT LOST ONE BATTLE BUT WON THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TWINS
FROM SLOVENIA
Rebuilding the Twin Towers much stronger and more resilient with a fitting and noble memorial to those we lost that horrible day will tell the world we will never forsake our way of life nor will we sumbit to religious terrorism. The only thing the Freedom Tower will accomplish (if it is built) is robbery of that opportunity.
since i was a little girl, i’ve always want to go to New York on Christmas.. i really hope that one day, standing in front of the new towers, my daughter says: “mom, they’re amazing”, to which i will answer: “yes, they are hon, some fanatics tried to vanish them off, but they rebirth, as a proof that no matter how bad the fall is, but the courage and dreams that makes you rise stronger..and indeed; Amazing!”
My name is Andrew, I am 16 years old and i live in England. Everytime I see images of the twin towers, although i have never visited them, i miss them. I wish along with many other people to be able to witness the awesome and symbollic twin towers. R.I.P victims and towers alike.
Here in Ireland. Six year and on a Tuesday as well. They should build the Twin Towers back as they were because loved ones work and died there. It would be the best tribute to them with each floor named after them.
My mother visited the towers in the late 70’s and my sister with her husband were on the top of the north tower when the visit New York in the 90’s.
So build them towers again.
6 years ago, when I saw the footage of the Towers burning and collapsing, I felt empty, and that my life was never going to be the same again. Only a few months before, when I was on a trip to New York to meet my family’s friends, I was standing near those grand towers, admiring their look, feeling the power of that magnificent structure. I did not have the chance to enter it though. And now, if the towers will not be rebuilt I will never have the chance. I, and all of Russia support this cause.
Rebuild the towers!! After watching the devastating attacks on the news of september 11th 2001 a lot of people dont feel the same as the new york skyline is not the same, looking at the demolished skyline is a constant reminder of what happened on that day. Although i think it is wrong that we forget what happened, we must rebuild the towers to rebuild the peoples confidence and show terrorists we are strong and can survive!! I hope in the future i can visit and pay my respect to ground zero.
It would be great to resurrect the two towers. Can I make a suggestion or two…..well I will anyway.
Rebuild but paint different color
Rename the towers “phoenix”
Maybe leave floors empty above point of impact
I do have one problem about rebuilding though – How will the people working in the towers feel
god bless nyfd TTA Note: The people who choose to work in supertall buildings all over the world feel empowered. Or, they go elsewhere.
Eversince 9.11. I thought it was obviously understood that the Twins would be rebuilt the way they were to show that life is going to continue and that NYC will always have the skyline it had, the one it was famous for and the one that represented everything it stood for, is standing for and and always will stand for. I wouldn’t give a second thought to saying yes to rebuilding the Towers. I really hope this will become a reality. Thank you to whoever got this petition started.
Rebuild as they were, and add a permanent beacon on top of one of them, to show the world what Americans are made of and give a sign of hope to all people. Freedom Tower is a mere heir that will never live up to the greatness of its forefathers. REBUILD or PROTEST.
Rebuild the twin towers exactly as they were, rebuilding the towers would heal the wounds of 9/11 and the new york city skyline, not some freedom tower, i would love to come to new york one day and see those two beautiful towers rising from the skyline, please please dont give up get the twin towers rebuilt as they were on 9/10/01, good luck
I want to visit and perhaps live in New York when I’m older, but it wouldn’t be the same if the towers weren’t rebuilt for when I do go there.
I’d have to visit the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building, but what I’d of really loved to of visit was the World Trade Centre.
If they aren’t rebuild, it would in my eyes seem as a defeat to terror, if they are rebuild, it will signal that we have overcome it, and that we are stronger than the sick terrorists who did this think we are.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers is too much important: to give a signal of continuity with the past, and to rescue a precious monument of all humanity…give back us the Twin Towers…the WTC that Yamasaki projected like a monument to men’s cooperation and faith in a peaceful worldwide future…
This whole thing is about guts, faith, hope, belief and the will and strength to fight back. It’s not about how hard you can hit, but it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep coming back.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers is a statement. An iconic way to define America again as the great country it used to be.
This is such a great oppurtunity for America that it would be a waste not to use it. Remember how this will look in history books, how Americans will look tough again.
By not rebuilding the Twin Towers, and replacing them with something else, is to admit defeat! It is to admit that what the terrorists hate about America is offensive and should be changed. By not rebuilding the Twin Towers (meaning something closely resembling them) we are letting the terrorists choose our landscape.

Don’t let the terrorist win.

Please bring back what was an icon to New York and to the world. And make it as a memorial, a symbol of freedom, a symbol of peace.
Bring back the towers as a sign for freedom

DO NOT ADMIT DEFEAT. Rebuild the Twin Towers.

The American people deserve to see the twin towers again. Put them back where they belong! God bless America.
