I lived on Governor’s Island from 1987-1990 as a young child. After using Google maps to explore Governor’s Island and parts of NYC, I realize that my childhood from ages 5-7 has been desecrated. To know that an event like 9/11 happened so close to where I used to live. Everyday when I am not thinking about anything else, the images of two planes ramming into the buildings haunts my mind.
While I liked the idea of the Freedom Tower, I now feel that rebuilding the Twin Towers would be what needs to happen to best heal the wounds of 9/11.
There could be no greater Memorial to those Americans who perished on on 9/11 then to rebuild the World Trade Center on Ground zero.
It would be great to put all their names on it.
I would feel a sense of Victory and Healing for America.
Oh Yes; Please, Lets do it.
We cannot [settle] for a second rate World Trade Center. We must cap the so called Freedom Tower and replace the stumps where towers 2 and 3 are planned with new, stronger Twin Towers. We need to restore New York’s skyline with a World Trade Center that America and the world can be proud of. Without the Twin Towers, New York is not New York.
In order for America to shine again, the Twin Towers need to be rebuilt. How is it that New Orleans was rebuilt after a natural disaster, and New York politicians don’t see that it is necessary to show the world that we won’t allow terrorists to knock us down and keep us down? What happened? After all those who died when attempting to rescue people, to extinguish a fire that was never going to be put out, and those who lost family and friends, how can we not see fit to rebuild these towers as a monument to their memory?
The Twin Towers stood for all that America welcomes, world trade and the quest for world peace. I did not lose anyone in 9/11 but my best friend worked in Tower 2 and was fortunately able to escape just as the second tower was hit. Her life was affected greatly as were all the others there and all of America. I will never forget. The Twin Towers deserve to be rebuilt!
The twin towers were an iconic symbol of new york’s economic might. The new towers don’t even match the floor area of the old towers, bring back the twins!
The current design for the new tower is simply ridiculous. The original twins represented power and strength. This angular, glittering piece of trash will only serve as a mockery to the U.S. By not putting back what we have lost, America is admitting defeat to the 2001 attack. Put back the twins, reestablish that once mighty N.Y. skyline, and confirm to the rest of the world that America cannot and will not be debilitated from foreign threats. We are a resilient people – something the Twin Towers undauntedly showcased. This insult of a design is far from reaching the glory that the twins had.
The Twin Towers Need To Come Back. Without them, new york and america wont be the same. Why wont people understand that these towers need to come back! They are just not showing respect to those who died on september 11. They say the freedom tower is the only way to support them. The twin towers will! Also building the twin towers could be the only memorial we could ever have for those events on september 11. Please America, Help rebuild the twin towers!!
I believe that if the beautiful Twin Towers are not rebuilt, we are, as a nation, failing. Not reconstructing these buildings is admitting defeat, and succumbing to the enemy, and it is a DAMN shame. Please rebuild the Twin Towers of the USA!
I seen those towers go down on 9/11 and I will not stand for this horrible looking freedom tower, I and all of america dont want that tower we want the twin towers and we will fight till the end until we get what america needs in its skyline.
I believe what this site believes. Rebuilding the World Trade Center TALLER AND STRONGER THAN BEFORE is the only good solution in my opinion. Rebuilding the towers would show the terrorists and the countries that harbor them of the United States’ resiliance. Building the Freedom Tower will show them that the US would rather replace than rebuild. NAY I SAY!
It has been 10 years since the attacks on our country. Honestly I think that the only right and true memorial is to rebuild the Twin Towers. Without the Twin Towers the skyline looks empty. The Twin Towers were the most famous landmarks in the world. The Twin Towers were very iconic. They have appeared in alot of movies and television shows. This is how iconic the Twin Towers were. We need our Twin Towers back. This will honor the victims of 9/11. Rebuild the Twin Towers.
Hello. My name is Jake. I am 13 years old. I live near new york city. I was only 3 when the attacks happen. My parents said when I was real young, I was taken to the top of the world traid center. Oviousily I don’t remember. I want to view “The top of the world.” I would like to see these wonderfull towers rebuilt and perhaps make them 20 stories taller. Ihe freedom towers don’t belong in the New York city skyline. They belong in hong kong, Not new york city. So yes Rebuild Replace Remember. Take these words. God bless the people who died.
I hope somehow and some way by some miracle the twin towers can be rebuilt, in spite of the current ongoing construction on the “tombstone” tower. I share the sentiments of many Americans that the only right way to honor the memory of those who were lost on 9/11 and send a clear message of our strength, unity, and resolve as Americans to the world and our enemies is to rebuild the twin towers even higher and stronger than they were before. Nothing else will bring the healing this country needs.
God bless the people of New York, God bless our troops, and God bless America!
It would not be right to not rebuild the Twin Towers! They are an american icon and they should be rebuilt. To honor all who died and the survivors and to show the terrorists that the USA will NOT be defeated and show them this will only make us stronger! God bless the USA.
This should be up to the people of New York to decide. Politicians have done enough with approving this nasty freedom tower. I may not live in New York but I will in a few years. New York is like the capital of the world and is known for the twin towers at the World Trade Center. Bring them back. The terrorists will not win!
The Twin Towers were them most iconic structures in the world. The Twin Towers had a beautiful view of New York City from the outdoor roof top observation deck! The North Tower had the famous Windows On The World Restaurant on the 106 or 107th floor. I just heard that the Freedom Towers will not have the Windows On The World Restaurant which is a disgrace to us all! The famous Windows On The World made $37 billion dollars and was the best restaurant in New York! We need our Twin Towers back in the skyline again! REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!
I heard that they scrapped the famous Windows On The World Restaurant on the Freedom Tower. This is a disgrace to New York and to the world! The Windows On The World Restaurant made $37 billion dollars and was the most respected restaurant in New York City and America. This is a crime against New York and the United States of America. This is a big crime against the will of the people. We must rebuild the Twin Towers and never give up the fight! Let us do the right thing by rebuilding our Twin Towers!
This is a big crime going on here in the United States. The Freedom Tower is not going to have the Windows On The World Restaurant. They just scrapped the Windows On The World Restaurant which is a disgrace. Plus there is no outdoor observation. What is happening at ground zero is a rank of abuse and must be dealt with. The Twin Towers must be rebuilt if we want to take our country back!
I really loved the design of the Twin Towers and the Freedom Tower don’t even make a better america. The Freedom Tower looks more like a giant needle that stabbed NYC and makes the country not look strong but weak. So I really WANT them to rebuild the Twin Towers and NEVER the Freedom Tower or an EVIL mosque!!!!!! God bless america!!!!
THIS IS SO STUPID. i have gone to ground zero a few times. i have seen the progress and its ok. BUT I WANT THE ORIGINAL TOWERS JUST TALLER AND SAFER AND STRONGER.
PLEASE.
I am a Middle School student that thinks the United States should have the Twin Towers built again. This will bring American spirit back and destroy the spirits of the Muslims. They deserve it after all the crap they’ve done to us.
The Freedom Tower will not have any of the things that the Twin Towers had. The Twin Towers had an outdoor observation deck and the Windows On The World restaurant. We need the Twin Towers rebuilt! Rebuild the Twin Towers!!
The twin towers were an iconic symbol of New York’s economic might. The new towers might match the floor area of the old towers, but they aren’t the same, post-modern glass vs. the roomy WTC, bring back the twins! I even have a poster of the two towers standing at night in New York’s skyline.
Like so many other comments before mine, it’s been long enough for us to not do something about the WTC. I, personally, want new towers; others may not. I would rather have new towers standing there as opposed to flashlights to remind me of what happened. So, with that said, let’s get this show started! I want Twin Towers II!
If we don’t rebuild the Twin Towers the terrorists have won. They tried to destroy the Twin Towers for the first time in 1993 but they didn’t succeed. The terrorists were successful on September 11, 2001 when they hijacked 2 airplanes coming out of Boston Logan Airport and intentionally flying them into the Twin Towers and killed thousands of people. If we don’t rebuild the Twin Towers the terrorists have won by permanently damaging the face of New York and America. Rebuild the Twin Towers. Don’t let the terrorists win!!
The Twin Towers must be rebuilt back to its original form. The Freedom Tower does not properly respect the victims of 9/11. I just found out that the famous Windows On The World restaurant was scrapped and will not be a part of the new complex. Plus there is no outdoor observation deck. This is very bad for New York. The politicians are corrupt and selfish. The new project is being built on a lie and we cannot continue living in lies. We must rebuild the Twin Towers. Rebuild the Twin Towers!!
The Twin Towers should be rebuilt taller and stronger. If we don’t, the terrorists win, I am sure that Mohammed Atta and Marwan AlShehhi are smiling with the freedom tower rising, they want it to be built, because they know that it is a sign of their victory. Let’s do the thing right, and show that we can be America again.
I want to see the Twin Towers rebuilt. I hate the current design because it is corrupt. I want to be able to eat breakfast in the Windows On The World Restaurant and I want to be able to go on top of the Outdoor observation deck of the South Tower. Please let us rebuild the Twin Towers because it is our only way of healing. Rebuild the Twin Towers.

REBUILD THE WTC’s TWIN TOWERS. I have no loved one who died on that day. But i think that the twin towers should be taller, safer and stronger.
GIVE BACK THE REAL WTC.
SAVE THE TWIN TOWERS!! I DONT WANT A FREEDOM TOWER. IT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT. IT JUST SCREAMS COMMERCIAL.

I hate that they are gone. But that doesn’t mean that it has to stay that way.
The only part that I like about the “Freedom Tower” complex is the museum. Rebuild the REAL World Trade Center!!
I was in 2nd grade when the towers went down…I am now in 11th grade and know that IT WOULD ONLY BE AMERICAN TO REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!
Freedom tower my ass.

I luv the Twin Towers and want to see them again! Not the stupid Freedom Tower.
Rebuild the twin towers it upsets me that this hasn’t been done yet

I think it is a great idea and i would fully support its construction. I favor this to Freedom Tower.
Don’t let the terrorists change New York skyline. Rebuild the twin towers.
