I didn’t have the opportunity to visit the fallen twin towers, but I know how they were significant to all the people not just in New York City, I mean USA-wide . They were an icon and they will be in the hearts of all those Americans that survived the attack. Re-building them will be a better memorial than a big park with a monument around a big hole, dear fellow Americans, don’t let the government decide for you, you are able to decide the destiny of that historic place by yourselves!!
I never had the opportunity to see the Twin Towers and I’ve never visited New York city but even I feel sad when I see the New York skyline without those majestic buildings reaching for the sky. I really do not think the Freedom Tower is the best way to remember all those who lost their lives that day. Rebuild the towers and make new york city, new york city again! The perfect symbol of freedom and the perfect memorial for 9/11.
Put the towers back in the air!New york deserves back what the evil took away! support all the way from ireland…keep up the fight!
Ni ceart go cur le cheile
-there is no stregnth without unity
The Iconic world trade centres where an inspiration prior to 9/11 as they are today. The feeble excuse of the new design is both an insult and an abomination to all those who lost their lives on that day.
I spent an afternoon in august 2001 just sitting on the Plaza in simple awe of these megalithic monuments, testament to mans enginuity and desire for progression in 1973… 35 years later we seem to of lost direction and a simple desire to do what’s right. Keep the faith friend.
Rebuilding the twin towers would show everyone around the world, including terrorists, that the will and determination of this country has been and is still being tested. But, also to show everyone, that we can overcome such adversity and look to the future. Not only for perseverance, but to also honor those citizens and the emergency personnel that lost their lives.
WE NEED THE TWINS BACK!!!!
im sorry but the ny skyline looks fucked up without them, i may be from Australia, but i DO care for the twin towers, and i am fighting your battle with you!
The twin towers defined the NY skyline. No other option therefore would symbolize New York’s recovery than the restoration of that skyline. To do anything else not only, in my opinion belittles the memory of everyone lost that day but also denies NY and the US the ability to make the statement to the world, “We’re back.”
freedom tower shows the terrorists they have won, rebuild the twin towers bigger and stronger. i always wanted to go to the top on a sunny day but never got the chance. New York has not been the same without them.
Nothing fits as good to the skyline of NY as the twin towers did. They would be memorial, financial heart and the center of New York in one. They would be a national monument like washington monument or the lincoln memorial. The current plan which contains the footprints of the twintowers look like a grave and does not fit in such a lively and progressive city like New York. The new twintowers would symbolize strength rises like a phoenix!
I had the privilege of visiting New York in early 2006 and so many New Yorkers in their homes and places of business had posters or framed photographs on their walls of the New York skyline WITH the Twin Towers in all their beauty. Rebuilding them is not to disrespect those who have passed, but to help us remember what they unwittingly died for – freedom. I should very much like to pay my respects again when next I visit New York, not to a hole in the ground, but to the rebuilt Twin Towers.
I’m Canadian but I lived in the United States for 8 years before returning home two years ago. I lived in New Hampshire when the towers fell. I think it’s a great idea to rebuild them, to show that Americans are not afraid. But I do think it might be a little creepy, and that no one would want to work there.
TTA Note: Happily, many more people would be inspired and thrilled to have the chance…
What can mankind say that has not been said, but rebuilding the twin towers is a dream and a wish of every peace and freedom loving human! Please America give us back history, it was a dream of mine to visit the twin towers so i still want to do so cause the towers will never die! I am so not over this. Hopefully New-York will become stronger then ever and I’am sure it will do so.
Peace and love to all the New-York citizens.
If you look at the design of the tower of freedom it’s actually not that bad. That being said, there should be two of them!! The smaller one should be 1776 ft tall, and the bigger one including the antenna should be some 2000 feet tall… I would say… The twin towers looked like glorious guardians of Manhattan, like the collosal guardians at Abu Simbel… the new design looks exactly the same as other major cities’ skyline… how sad!!!
Just build the originals again. It would be taking away the famous face of the city. And to the terrorists it would be the best signal. You can’t get us small, we just rebuild them.
Greetings from Canada! Im signing this for many reasons. Rebuilding the WTC’s Twin Towers bigger and stronger is just a very powerful message and definitely something to remember. The original WTC served New York in many ways from well World Trade to tourism and those who just like to gaze up at them. One more thing is that the Freedom Tower is just not the same especially when replacing the most famous twinned structures in the world. If they’re built il bring a Canadian Flag to the WTC if I go.
I would ask that the victims of the September 11th, 2001 attack in the Twin Towers be given the respect and dignity that they deserve, and that very careful consideration be given for a Twin Tower replacement, and a Memorial that will respect and honor these 9/11 tower victims and the killed rescue workers. Thank you.
America wasn’t built on compromise or trying to please everyone. Knock her down, she got up again and stood taller. This is not the case with the Freedom Tower. It represents a weak and scared America that is compromising itself. The Twin Towers were stark, brutal and singularly beautiful, and were representative of a time in American thinking of hope, determination and daring. The ONLY way is to build them again, Taller, Stronger, and more Determined. Put back America’s hood-ornament.
As I want to be an architect I agree with the fact that the World Trade Center should be built again. The original Twin Towers looked brilliant in books and I believe that the 16 acres at Ground Zero should be rebuilt. As long as they were better-looking, more protected and had the same facilities as well as a memorial I agree that the WTC should be rebuilt!
In 1989, at the age of 17, i stayed in America for 6 weeks with a family friend and spent a day in New York (august 4th) and went up the top of the wtc as part of the tour i was on. Alas!! It rained for the entire day and there was no view whatsoever from the top as it was enshrouded by cloud! So rebuilding the towers would give me the chance to come back to NY and fulfil my dream of seeing the finest skyline in the world. REBUILD THE TOWERS!
Collectively we could buy the site and have Trump build it. Owned by those who contribute we form our own company, buy out all the deadbeats and get rid of the special interest groups!
I just spent a week in NYC and it is sad to see the gap in the skyline from where the towers once stood. Even if they were to build a memorial shell of the towers – that would be a much better option than the freedom tower. A true symbol of freedom would be to show everyone that NYC is not going to retreat from terrorism but rather that it is going to rebuild and to continue on with life as it was on September 10th. Rebuild the Towers!!
Its been said many times before the Twin Towers were an integral part of the New York Skyline, there destruction was a terrible loss to City and the Country. There has been no plan bold enough or even suitable enough to replace them. As an outsider I have always marveled at the US attitude towards architecture and design, which is, to say the least, confident and unfettered. If you can’t beat it, then replace it. There simplicity was fantastic. Put them back, and make them the worlds tallest!
I’ve seen the WTC when I was very young, on a trip to NY City back in the 90’s. I remember the Twin Towers very well. The “Top of the World†was by far, the most amazing observation deck in the world, and the Manhattan skyline with the Twins…well…that was just THE greatest and THE most powerful symbol of America. I still can’t understand why the US didn’t rebuild the Towers just like they were, only stronger. It’s not about a skyscraper. It’s about a symbol. And when a symbol of your country is destroyed like that, there’s only one way to go: bring those responsible to justice, remember the victims on a timeless memorial, and REBUILD your symbol back. Replace the Twins for any other building it’s just not right.
Five years ago, the world’s tallest building’s groundbreaking occurred. It took just five years to create a building 2,684 feet tall. With sheer incompetence, the Port Authority and other elected officials won’t finish One World Trade Center (formerly the Freedom Tower) or any of the other towers before the year 2013. That means that one skyscraper can be built in Dubai in five years but in America a skyscraper can’t be built for over EIGHT years. That is unacceptable. Rebuild the Twin Towers.
For us, the “rest of the world” people, NYC is a symbol. NYC without its twin towers is like Paris without the tower, Egypt without the pyramids, Australia without Ayers Rock, Moscu without the Kremlin. For us, the “Fear Tower” symbolizes the end of an era. Once the Fear Tower is topped, USA will never be the land of the free and the home of the brave. USA will be the land of the fearful. It is sad for us. Is it sad for you, americans? I hope it is too.

Stronger and taller (why not?)… that’s the spirit! That’s New York!
Twin freedom towers is great idea, the original Twin Towers provided a unique skyline.

Je croix que pour pouvoir avoire la liberté q’il-faut, c’est nécessaire reconstruir les “Twin Towers “, par-ce-que toute le mond peut voire que rien de rien va faire nous oblier ça; La Libreté.
Et je croix q’il faut les redimensioner: 100×100 metres du base et 500 metres d’hauteur, plus forts, plus sûres et également belles.
TWIN TOWERS FOREVER AND EVER

I never got to see those beautyfull towers reach to the sky. Rebuild them. New York needs its twins back.
Hope there rebuilt, building a single tower is basically letting the terrorists win.

Plus fortes et plus grandes. More stronggers and more biggers forever.

Please Please Please Bring these amazing towers back dont let OBL Win! These are the true Freedom Towers.
New York needs its towers back! It’s the only way to bring the city back to its former glory.
We owe it to ourselves and the people whose lives were lost to re-build the twin towers. That is a fact.
We owe it to the victims of the September eleventh attacks;
We owe it to all the other victims of terrorism around the world;
We owe it to America;
We owe it to every other democratic state in the world that believes in the values of freedom and peace;
We owe it to the men and women in uniform, who make such massive sacrifice in order to get to the root of the problem;
But most of all;
We owe it to ourselves.
