i was a kid when 9/11 happened and i had no idea what the twin towers were until i got older and did some research of my own. i never got to experience going to the twin towers myself nor did i ever remember them when i was growing up. the twin freedom towers need to be a reality, so that i can experience the towers that i never went to and for others who never got the chance to go see the original towers, and remember what they were.
I was with most people my age when it happened (I’m 15), and even though I’ve only been to NYC once (2006), to a lot of people way before 9/11, those towers meant something. The Freedom Tower and the other new towers in my opinion are unsatisfying and it shows that the terrorists won in a way. Hopefully in the near future, if Towers 2 and 3 aren’t built, we will see the Towers rise again.
The twin towers must be rebuilt!!!
When I was two years old, I got to go up the twin towers. However, I do not remember that experience, and I want to relive that experience again. That can only be achieved if the twin towers are rebuilt. If we do rebuild the twin towers, we can tell the terrorists that they cannot defeat us. If they knock them we, we will build them right back up. Rebuilding the twin towers is the only way we can truly defeat the terrorists in our hearts.
I am a 15 year old kid who went on a trip with my family to New York City in 2001 and although I dont remember my mom has a picture of me on top of the south towers observation deck. I Love the new One world trade center and im an architectural fanatic and like the new 3wtc design too but I believe we need 2 1400 foot relics in the new york skyline so i can have a moment in history no one can take from me.
I was in the 5th grade when 9/11 happened, it was very unreal even to this day I’m still in shock that it actually happened. The twin towers stood for what this country represented. The best thing that needs to happen is rebuild the towers.
REBUILD AND REMEMBER: The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were amazing steel structures and angelic dominants of the New York skyline. On 9/11, two jets struck the World Trade Center.
Both towers collapsed. 3,000 people died.
The best way to commemorate these beautiful towers is to rebuild them, made of concrete and taller and safer. A memorial is ideal and vital, but some people never got to see the twin towers. More than half of AMERICA wants them to arise from the ashes. Do what the people want. Rebuild the towers. Even though it’s already April 2015 and 1 World Trade Center opened 5 months ago, we will not give up in pursuing and fulfilling our dreams. Rebuild and Remember.
New York is a home a way from home. I’d love to see some twin towers the next time I “go home.”
I don’t want to see a great big piece of glass sticking out of the ground.
REBUILD the Twin Towers they showed that we stayed strong and tall we need them back!! All my life i have wanted to work in those buildings. Bring them back America!! David Sanchez Alonso
It’s simple, really. If they want to rebuild the Twin Towers, just put the North Tower in the north pool, and the south in the south pool. It would also be nice if they added the Mariott hotel again. #RebuildtheTwinTowers
Right now, as it stands, the terrorists have won. They’ve effectively struck fear into us enough that the government will not allow these towers to be rebuilt. Why on Earth should we give the terrorists what they desire? We must respond with strength and resilience, and the most effective way of doing so is rebuilding the WTC exactly as it was before. This would not only show the terrorists that we’re not afraid of them and their threats, but it would best heal the wounds of those who had established those two towers as a symbol of American freedom and might. No other symbol can represent this feeling better. I believe rebuilding as it was is the only thing left we can do to make sure the 3000 people slain on that day did not die in vain.
I’m terribly sorry that I never got a chance to see the twin towers in person and the terrorists (Bush and co.), have succeeded in bringing them down for their oil profits in Iraq and Afghanistan and they have stripped us of our freedom, rights, and all together way of life. To not rebuild the towers is in my mind not even an option. 1 wtc! WTF we need 1 and 2 wtc and I don’t mean twin freedom towers. Not rebuilding the towers is a 100% victory for those who brought them down! Btw, we aren’t free.

I Am not from New York City nor have i ever been but i would love to visit and move there one day. I Consider myself a New Yorker no matter what. & I Say the Twin Towers need to be Rebuilt its only right. the New York City Skyline does not look the same with out them. feels like something is missing please consider it. many of us Americans & New Yorkers want them rebuilt
I was only 9 years old when 9/11 happened and I didn’t understand just how great the devastation, the severity of how detrimental it was to our country until I grew older. The more I learned about 9/11, the heavier my heart and chest felt with grief for those who lost loved ones and friends in the attack. It brought America to its knees, closer to God, and to each other. 9/11 was a day everyone became a New Yorker. I’ve always been sentimental and I don’t think the Freedom Tower does the NY skyline justice compared to what Manhattan could have in rebuilding taller and stronger Twin Towers. I think that it would also bring some sort of release and deliver the perfect slap in the face to terrorists! It would scream, “We won. Go to hell!”
Rebuild the Twin Towers after all I don’t live in New York but New York City needs the Twin Towers rebuild and also the Nation needs the Twin Towers up in the skyline of New York City it’s not the same without the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center
I am so far away from New York, but as an American we have to rebuild only taller and better. What a normal American would want to see. Greatness of our country is what Trump was talking about in 2005 and government turned a blind eye to a man that helped build an empire in New York. I said my peace.
I was in the middle of a school day when I first heard of the 9/11 tragedy. It was devastating then and still is to this day. Every year for three or four days around 9/11 I search the internet for some sign the original monuments will be rebuilt in all their beauty. I don’t live in New York, but even the pictures have a big gap! The only way to establish our true strength as a nation is to rebuilt bigger and stronger not build around. Please rebuild these international icons in all their original glory!
Please rebuild the original Twin Towers. Just build the buildings taller and stronger than the old ones were. This will show terrorists how strong we are. Please build it in the exact same spots they were in, even if it would ruin the memorial. They can just rebuild a memorial inside the new Twin Towers. Please.
I was very little when the twin towers were destroyed but I really wish that I could have seen them! One day I’m going to visit NYC and go see the memorial and museum and I would love to see the real towers there, bigger and better than they once were!
I was very little when the towers collapsed, but they are my favorite buildings in the world. I would love nothing more than for them to rebuild the twin towers.
My mother is from NY, so even though I grew up in Boston, we visited so much that New York was always my home away from home. The World Trade Center was one of my most loved playgrounds as a child. I’ll never forget jumping up in the air at the moment the high speed elevator stopped at the observatory to experience weightlessness! And that view from the top! I didn’t go to New York for 14 years after the towers fell because I knew it would be unbearable to see the city without them. When I finally saw the Freedom Tower in person a couple weeks ago, it was sickening. My first thought was: “BUT IF THERE WERE TWO OF THEM…….”
I still can’t believe that rebuilding the original towers wasn’t the plan from day one. How could anyone want any other option? If I had been on those planes or in those towers, I would want two things done to honor me: destroy the animals responsible for this attack, and REBUILD EVERYTHING. The Freedom Tower and complex are beautiful but totally inappropriate. The complex reminds me of cold, broken pieces of the original towers. We went from two giant, confident, bold, magical monuments reaching for the sky, to a bunch of short, boring, dead pieces. Is that supposed to represent that we’ve “learned our lesson” and become more humble and weak? Not me. I’m more pissed and determined than ever. And I know I’m not alone.
Those towers must be rebuilt. they should look as they did in the past. no modern touches. what needs to change is their strength. They must be rebuilt.
Please put them back for all the people like me that so badly want to see them. What better way to come back than to show we were not defeated and we can come back stronger.
Bigger, Stronger, Thicker, Taller than before. As I remembered, and millions of others has remembered, as the two giants stood next to one another. For the future generations of our American society to remember what we were, and what we will be. Please, rebuild the towers the way it should be, for the American people. Let us show the world we still stand strong and tall, and now we stand stronger and taller than before.
We NEED to REBUILD WTC TOWERS II, GET BACK THE FORMER EXTERIOR DESIGN OF THE ORIGINAL TOWERS! Build them taller and better(use larger core,staircases with the triangular rest area as in 1 WTC). Hollow steel sq. tubing with triangular support system inside concrete with re-bar, finish with shiny steel metal facade. Build a tower with upgrades in Canada, then RC one of the largest airplanes, bigger than a 777/A380, maybe a Beluga(?) into it to see if that knocks it down; notes NOE explosive assistance.
I was in NY last week, I lived there part of my adolescence back in 1986 and going back to one of the greatest cities of the world without the WTC … it didn’t feel same … NEW York is not the same … Those iconic towers need to be built again … to show our power and not give the victory to those who destroyed them!! Please build them back!
New York is a somber place now. The city of my dreams, ruined 14 years ago. And there still exists, a hole in my heart. The Twin Towers were part of it. I loved the open plaza at the base of the towers. And I would head up this lavender elevator to a subtle, relaxing and exciting view of New York and New Jersey.
Fourteen years and 3 months ago, the Twin Towers were destroyed, and reduced to nothing, along with 3,000 innocent citizens. Now, what sticks out of the World Trade Center’s ground is a concrete rod surrounded in glass. Not to mention, with an antenna on top, half the height of the building.
What we want is a new version, V2.0 of the Twin Towers. Advanced in technology and up-to-date, the towers will once again reclaim the title as New York’s most iconic buildings.
Please rebuild the twin towers. The skyline with them was unmistakable and majestic. Nothing can compare. Those towers were to NYC what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris.
I was down at the World Trade Center just three days ago.I hated to gaze up where I used to see two shimmering silver towers and instead see a glass gravestone which claims to be the future of architecture. I do like the symbolic height, but they should’ve rebuilt the Twin Towers with that height.
I don’t get it. Downtown New York is a terrible place now, with those awful generic skyscrapers.
I strongly believe that the towers should be rebuilt. They are symbolic to our peoples and nation. I want to have the opportunity to see how they were once again.
Please build back the Twin Towers. I was 4 when the tragedy we know as 9/11 happened. As I grow older and see less people care and remember what happened it really makes me sick. My biggest dream in life is to see the towers rising above everything else one more time. My life would be complete if I could just see them and all of what they stand for. Thank you for letting me have a voice and God bless America.
We need the Twin Towers. The new tower, One World Trade Center, just does not do it justice. I can’t even express the amount of sadness I have that those buildings aren’t there anymore, and what’s in their place is an eyesore, a modern contemporary-design skyscraper that completely ignores what made the Twin Towers unique. Nothing like them has ever existed, they were a tribute to the time period in which they were built, and a symbol of America. New York, and America itself needs the Twin Towers back.
I’m 15 years old and I was only 7 months old when the twin towers collapsed. I never got a chance to see them in person. The twin towers are the only things that I could think about. Why don’t we just rebuild them? It would be nice for the twin towers to rise from the ashes. All that I ever wanted to do was to go to New York and visit the twin towers in person. Please bring back the tallest skyscrapers in NYC. It’s too late to do that.
i want to see the Twin Freedom Towers become a reality. so please make this happen!

the twin towers are an America symbol of strength that told the world we can over come anything we must rebuild! NEVER FORGET!!!!

I look up at those towers on old pictures and realize that they may never come back. I for one really do not like that idea.
