  1. It isn’t too late. we all know it. The freedom tower is nothing but a huge white flag, a symbol of defeat. Not to mention it’ll only make our economy worse. It’s so costly just to keep the current plan running, there would be an admission fee just to get into the mermorial! We don’t wanna pay for freedom do we? REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS! NOTHING ELSE WILL DO!

  2. From the beginning of the aftermath I have felt that the bravest thing, the greatest thing, would be to rebuild the towers exactly as they were in their iconic greatness — perhaps even a bit taller. Only now years later, saddened that nothing has happened, yet hopeful now that President Obama has taken office I went online to search for an organized effort to accomplish this. I hope this is something that gets serious consideration — and soon.

  4. As a proud American, and a future service member, it is a shame that we have not already rebuilt these symbols of freedom. These iconic towers stood in the New York skyline for 30 years. In essence we have let them win, they destroyed something that stood as a symbol of America, they destroyed them, and we’re too complacent to rebuild them. I believe Donald Trump has the best idea, rebuild them, but one floor taller.

  5. I fully support this great effort to rebuild our country and restore american greatness. I can’t think of a more powerful and stoic symbol. Do not let this effort go silent!

  6. I love the twin towers. If we rebuild them we are honoring the fallen that died that day. Trust me, those people that died would have wanted those twin towers to be rebuilt for their city. Making new buildings would be disrespectful to the brave that have fallen. Rebuilding would also show the terrorists that we will not let them win the war on terror. WE ARE STRONGER! GOD BLESS AMERICA and god bless all of the families of the victims on that horrible Tuesday morning.

  7. on behalf of my fellow americans lets rebuild OUR TWIN TOWERS THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE BUILT DONT DO IT FOR ME DO IT FOR THE LIVES DESTROYED AND LOST ON THAT TERRIBLE DAY PLEASE REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!.

  8. Rebuilding is the perfect way to show the people who destroyed the towers that they did not win. You can bomb the towers, you can hit them with planes and knock them down, but you can’t keep them down. It’s symbolic of the American spirit — perseverance, getting up and going on no matter how many times you get knocked down. To build anything else would just not be as powerful or as meaningful. Please reconsider that ‘freedom tower.’

  9. Although I think there should be a category For CT residents seeing were just as close as NJ I will include myself in “other Americans” At my work in Fairfield CT I could see the Twin Towers stand…I also had to see in horror the black clouds of their destruction… when we fall down we get back up on BOTH legs/feet… put BOTH legs back up on this site!!!… Rebuild the “TWIN” towers TALLER, STRONGER and Greener than before… What better sign of the America Lady Liberty stands for!!!

    TTA Note: “All Other NY and NJ Residents” refers to the two Port Authority states. Someone who could see the Twin Towers from Connecticut belongs in Metro New Yorkers.

  10. The Twin Towers have been iconic symbol for New York City for years and they deserve to be rebuilt to make New York original again. The Twin Towers should serve as an ever lasting reminder to all Americans that “We may have fallen but we have prevailed”.

  11. After the shock wore off from seeing the coverage on that infamous day, I thought to myself, “They need to be rebuilt! Either one floor taller or one floor shorter. But either way, they have to be rebuilt.”

    The one floor higher option would be in defiance to the terrorists and their ilk. The one floor shorter alternative would be in honor of those we lost, a symbolic bow in remembrance.

    I like the 1776 feet & year reference in the Freedom Tower design, but there needs to be two tower

  12. i don’t get it they rebuilt WTC 7 so why don’t they rebuild the rest of the WTC complex? REBUILD THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. As a company executive, I believe that we need to stay together as one nation to remember 911 – and to honor our lost – and to rebuild the vision of the TWIN TOWERS – in more majesty and glory than ever before – to demonstrate our resolve to be one free nation, under God, committed to the capitalistic freedom of this United States of America – and that we will defend to our death, the freedoms that were earned for us by our forefathers and nation’s founders. DON’T LET THE FEW RULE OVER THE MANY.

  14. I think we need to show the world and the ones that tore down our buildings…We are americans, we are stronger, we are one nation under god and we will rebuild! They would see that they didn’t break us! All they did was make us stronger country!

  15. remember when we said we will not forget? lots of people have and that’s a big deal because bin laden will think were scared he will come back to redo 9-11. he’s too scared. we the people have to make sure they build them. they were once the world’s tallest buildings and they deserve respect not to be crashed in to. why would we put in a stupid glass elevator? if they get rebuilt there’s two towers that means two freedom towers. REBUILD THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. PLEASE UNITED WE STAND ON GROUND ZERO REBUILD THEM.

  16. I agree that the towers should be re-built as they were – to stand tall in the face of the people that took them down. It would send a very strong message to the world. The message would not be an antagonistic or negative portrayal of our attitude, but a message of hope and strength and resolve. And it would be a tribute to all Americans and all of the people of the world that believe in freedom.

  17. i completely agree they should rebuild the twin towers instead of a weak looking freedom tower that terrorists are going to destroy.

  18. YES! Rebuild both towers, not just one. Maybe even engrave the names of all those that perished in the Towers on that fateful day in the design of the buildings, on each floor. 2750/110=25 names per floor. As well as a rotating red, white and blue bright light on the very top of either one or both. This would act as a symbol to the rest of the world that we’re back, and were brighter than ever! Also a big lighted sign at night that reads 911 on one tower and 2001 on the other. Peace ya all.

  19. The Freedom Tower is a slap in the face. If we really wanted to stand in defiance of freedom hating muslim extremists, we would rebuild the towers as they once were. That would really piss ’em off! Show ’em we’re not scared. That we’re not going to bow out or cry like a little school girl! Enough PC BS. Enough ‘we remember’ stuff. Show that you actually remember and put back what is rightfully theirs! Wouldn’t we rebuild the White House again? The Lincoln Memorial? The Pentagon? Of course we would!

  20. There is only one way to end this matter now and it is to do it the American way: Rebuild the Twin Towers! What kind of message are we sending to our country and the world if we do not rebuild? We are saying what those in charge are thinking in their heads: The people’s voices do not matter. Those in charge would rather waste money on something that not only doesn’t fit NYC at all, but is disrespectful to those who died and bad for the economy. Where is the logic in that? Do not give up hope!

  21. This is America this is our country It isn’t too late the construction for the freedom tower can be knocked over like blocks if we can get our rights for the WTC 2.

  22. Personally I think with the freedom tower plan the terroists win they may have destroyed our towers but they can’t destory our spirits and rebuilding the WTC shows that we are not giving up we are American and we are strong. I think the freedom tower plans shows the terroists we gave up.

  23. I could only wish to see the twin towers one day since i am only 24. Tney fell when i was 16 yrs. old. Lets make it happen!!!

  24. Too long have we as AMERICANS failed to stand up for what is right. Now more than ever this is the chance to prove to the world that we have the guts to do something right. Sorry all of you cry babies out there but get a hold of yourselves and stand up and be counted. Let’s rebuild the TOWERS and show what America is made of.

  25. Rebuilding the Twin Towers will do one thing and one thing only: Show the world that attacks on our country will do nothing but make us stronger. We are accepting defeat if we build the Freedom Tower. We are telling the world that the terrorists won. The Twin Towers need to be rebuilt taller and stronger. We must not accept anything less.

  26. I am very supportive of the Twin Towers 2 design which is even higher than the original and still has a memorial. I like the fact that wtc 7 was built taller than it was and so should towers 1 & 2.

    We need to not only give New York City and State and the Northeast Corridor its skyline back; or even America and the West. We need to give the world back its skyline because our hands are and always will be outstreched to those who seek a better life and wish to be one of with us.

  27. I grew up on long island. I use to go and visit my grandmother on staten island using the varanzano bridge ( I hope I spelled that right) I could see New York City and the World Trade Center. I use to say those are really plain looking Twin Towers, Then came the day when I didn’t see them. It was like someone stabbed my heart and I didn’t feel good when I finally got to staten island, I live in Florida now, But in my heart I am first an American and then a New Yorker.

  28. I love the twin towers and hoped to see them when i went to NY in 2002 and i hope the freedom tower is canceled and they rebuild the trade center the way it was only way taller and stonger. Freedom tower is a good remembrance but it is not as good as a new twin towers can be. Rebuild THE TWIN TOWERS.

  29. The twin towers, as they were, would do more to restore America’s spirit than any other single thing. Good public’s work project to help boost the economy too 😉

  30. I believe that rebuilding the Twin Towers is the most powerful symbolic action the USA can take to heal the wounds of 9/11 and to honor those who lost their lives on that fateful day. In these troubled economic times this project would be a stunning economic stimulus as well!

  31. Hello, I believe that the twin towers should be built, scrap that freedom tower, its a piece of junk. FEARTOWER. I gurantee that it will be built stronger and much safer, it will also make a lot of people feel better. The wtc was a peaceful place lets not let some idiots ruin our country. and lets not ruin our country by building a pile of junk.

  32. The Twin Towers were arguably the greatest construction ever to grace the face of New York, the United States, and even the world. Rebuilding the Twin Towers is the only thing that can help us move on from this terrible disaster. Anything else will be a constant reminder of the horrors of 9/11.

  33. The best way to tell the terrorists that they did NOT win would be to re-build the Twin Towers, not some stupid ‘freedom spire’. A building with a big stick on top that is not going to be the tallest building in the world anyway because the “big stick” is not part of the structure of the building.

  34. If we don’t rebuild the twin towers, then the terrorists have won. I think the only way to really remember what the towers stood for and remember all the people that died on 9/11 is to rebuild those towers on the same exact spot that they once stood. Could we send a better message to the world? We are the United States of America, and no matter what you throw our way, we will not cower in fear and we will not let you destroy our spirit.
