  1. I am from Ireland and it has been my dream to visit New York City and its wonderful sites for many years. I hope that the towers will be built again.

  2. I would love to see these two amazing towers rebuilt – what better way to show terrorists that they simply can not and WILL NOT ever win?! In fact, I think we should go even further and not only rebuild the towers but rebuild them higher than before in increments of a certain measurement for each person that was murdered. A rebuilt WTC would be a demoralizing blow for the demons behind the vile act of 2001.

  3. They should restore the original skyline, and yes, even bigger than before – the Twin Towers were functional and beautiful, and New York needs to have them again.

  5. The Twin Towers should be re-built. They stood tall and looked amazing in the Skyline. Two holes that are put in the ground (not even how towers looked like)will not do it for me. I love Modern buildings but these looked amazing. If they cant rebuild, they have to recreate them some how.

  6. My wife and I recently visited New York from Newfoundland, Canada, and fell in love with your beautiful city. The buildings (many of which were built by steelworkers from my province) and the people were wonderful. However, the lack of the WTC in the New York skyline saddened us deeply. Don’t give up! Rebuild the towers. Show the rest of the world how to really fight back and restore New York to its former glory. We’ll be back to visit the new Twin Towers soon!

  7. Please rebuild them, they were everything that made NYC, it just wont be the same without them. The new buildings look really crap – and thats just for starters I could go on and on but I wont, I just wanted to say PLEASE REBUILD THEM!!!

  8. The Twin Towers will always be a symbol of the 20th Century for me, a grand reminder of the culture we lived in. The Freedom Tower represents a constant reminder to our weaknesses as a people. Plus is looks shite.

  9. I visited the twin towers in 2000 when I was 10, the next time I saw new york it was from the air in 2007 and its really a big shocking difference. Not rebuilding is like admitting defeat.

  11. How can there be a memorial for a building that does not look like the building to be remembered? Please give back to us what we miss so much.

    I believe that this would be the wish of those who left us, if they had a single minute to go back to this place…. how could they ever accept something else? What would they think if they saw NY without WTC?

    There is nothing more respectful than rebuilding these towers. Nothing else would bring back our lost friends closer to our hearts.

  12. I am traveling to New York next week and I’m so sad and disppointed that I didn’t get to see the Twin Towers for real. Nothing would make me happier to see them resurrected – it would be the ultimate ‘f*ck you’ to the inbreeds who took part in and celebrated the original terrible act of terrorism. The Freedom Tower being built would be an insult – it is unattractive and resembles nothing to what the World Trade Centre once was. Let’s recreate the towers. Let’s make it New York again.

  13. I live in Canada and I’ve always wanted to live in New York later in life, I wish they would rebuild the Twin Towers. I would love to go there and stand on top of the Towers and think of those who lost their life on 9/11.

  14. I come from Ireland and have wanted to move to New York ever since I was a kid.
    Of all the symbols, land marks and buildings that make New York so special, nothing stood out more spectacularly than the Twin Towers. They defined what New York and the USA were all about.Its been a childhood dream of mine to get to the very top floor of the buildings and to look out at the beauty of New York City, and I hope that one day that dream will become a reality.

  15. Get them to stand up once again, and if possible higher than ever, dont let the terrorists beat us, we will stand up again. I can’t wait to see them (the twins) getting rebuilt.
    I’m from denmark in Europe and I feel with the families that where left behind in this terrible crime.

  16. I am not an American, nor do I live in US, I am writting to you 1000 miles away from UAE, even though I am not an American, 9/11 did have a impact on my life, I would be more than glad to join this alliance to rebuilt the glory, the pride that was lost.
    I believe that NY would not be NY with out its towers.
    Thanking you and god bless all.

  18. greetings from venezuela. i feel sorry for the freedom tower, its not just the same, NYC had two Twin Towers not just 1 tower. i hope that some day i could go to NYC and watch in person the brand new twin towers that are going to build again because thats what the city deserve. keep fighting for reconstruction of the twin towers. RIP all the people of 9/11.

  20. Hello from Toronto. The new plans just don’t do it for me. We need the Twin Towers back. God Bless America.

  21. The Twin Towers were iconic, they were New York. I was in NY and visited the twin Towers for the first time the week before they were taken away.
    Look it’s a no brainer, New York New York needs Twin Towers.
    REBUILD.

  22. 9/11 was a horrible crime, and restoring at least the architecture of what that event took away is an imperative. Giving Lower Manhattan any other shape than the pre-9/11 one, means NY will remain a metropolis shaped by mass-murderers. Mixing the word “freedom” into it all doesn’t help. It’s intolerable.

    A worthy memorial is also of vital importance, for those who lost dear ones and for the people still suffering from these memories all over the USA and the rest of the world.

  23. Greetings from IRAN…I’m so sorry and I hope us to see the towers once again together…Those two towers are not just buildings…They are also the symbol of people who hate terrorism and everyone who brake the PEACE…so let us rebuild our world together!!
