  1. Dear Friends!
    I agree with all of you a 100%- World Trade Center shall be re-built and the money that otherwise is wasted and pocketed on the war in Middle East shall be put to build it. My opinion is: build the towers the way they were, in the middle of the complex make a Memorial to all people and hopes that perished on that land, and let all the artists from around the world donate their work, that expresses that artist’s 9/11 sorrow, to the Memorial. New York is an APPLE OF THE WORLD’S EYE.

  2. I lived in Manhattan when the towers fell, and would love nothing more than to return once they are rebuilt. An odd looking structure meant to evoke the Statute of Liberty is just no substititute.

  3. As a resident of NJ and former employee in tower 5 the events of 9/11 are forever scarred into my memory. I was able to see the towers from my classroom and as everyone in the area Seeing what happened that day was one of the worst events of my life. Now the thought of the Freedom tower and the other buildings saddens me. Please give us back our skyline, bring back the twin towers in all their glory

  4. Anything less than rebuilding the original TwinTowers, stronger than before, is unacceptable and a victory for all those who would attack New York and America.

  5. Gov. Spitzer: Please unravel all the red tape that Pataki has created. While he was making these decisions in a bubble, you have been on the outside (along with other New Yorkers and Americans). It is crystal clear what the people want and need.

    When the people were charged with debris clean-up, it was done in record time. When the government was charged with rebuilding, all they could accomplish was petty quarreling and stalemates.

    That hole in the ground is a colossal embarrassment to

  6. It really is time to rebuild the Twin Towers. If the Capitol had been destroyed by the terrorists on Flight 93 would we not have rebuilt it?

  7. The second biggest tragedy in NYC is that we aren’t rebuilding the WTC exactly as it was. It’s almost 6 years later and nothing has been built. Lets start building, but do it right and put back the Twin Towers.

  8. Really exciting to know that getting our tours back is still possible. Let it be known, putting it back in place will send the strongest message to the world, and to the terrorists.

  9. Just rebuild the towers EXACTLY as they were, no actually build them taller, and stop with the politically correct nonsense that is the main reason there is still a 16 acre hole in lower Manhatten..

  10. We should not yield an inch to the perverted idology that destryoed the Twin Towers. What better wat to say we are united against the purveyers of wanton death and destruction than to rebuild what was destroyed.

  11. I support the idea of rebuilding the original towers. The only thing better would be to build a third tower, or to build nothing on the site and make it a national park. Now that would be a proper use for eminent domain. But the current design is awful. Plus, to build some other structure on the very footprint of the towers seems disrespectful. Either rebuild the originals, or don’t build anything.

  12. There can be no better testament to the indominable spirit of Americans generally and New Yorkers in particular than the rebuilding of the Twin Towers as they stood prior to 9/11. Perhaps 1 or 2 stories higher…

    As Americans, we have the ability, ingenuity and the resources to rebuild two skyscrapers in substantially less time than it took the terrorists – who live in caves – to plan the attack that toppled them. It’s time to get to work!

  13. The Twin towers were an economic & multicultural symbol of American freedom, tolerance, liberty, economic opportunity and prosperity. This is precisely why they were targeted. What better way to honor their memory than to rebuild the VERY SAME structures that the terrorists sought to destroy. This would show the terrorists that even the greatest depths of their hatred cant compare to the ingenuity and dedication of free peoples. Return the towers to our skyline!

  14. The towers should be rebuilt bigger and better. That would be the ultimate slap in the face to every terrorist the world over. Let it be known that their efforts are futile; we will rebuild stronger than ever everytime!

  15. Exactly as they were, but more reinforeced and more beautiful they should be built. Non apologetic, no short cuts, do it up right.

  16. Built them as high or higher and put a finger in the eye of the Islamic terrorist that did this and their stupid ideas!

  17. It is a crime that there has been so much stalling in rebuilding Ground Zero. Bring the towers back. Make them taller. Make them safer. It’s time.

  18. I see no other option, it is essential we send a message loud and clear to our enemies, this is a great way to do just that. We will prevail.

  19. If we could bring back everyone that lost their life that day, we wouldnt change a thing about them, would we? Why change the look of the buildings that stood there holding our city together? I AGREE…BRING THEM BACK JUST AS THEY WERE!!
