  1. I worked in WTC for 4 yrs.They are the happiest years of my life. I want the twin towers back. Not just for nostalgic reasons, but also it makes perfect sense after seeing the ugly alternatives offered to be built there. NYC skyline needs twintowers.

  3. We need to rebuild the Towers. These buildings embodied the NY Skyline, as well as were my work “home” for a few years. I am proud to say I worked there, and hope that I have the opportunity to say: “I am working there again.” God Bless this coun

  4. How can you look out at the skyline and not think of what happened? If we don’t rebuild, we are not the land of the free.

  5. Rebuilding the World Trade Center will be a fitting tribute for the people who died that day. As Americans, We can’t make the terrorists win over this country. We need to stand up as one nation show to the world that we can overcome 9-11 and rebuild

  6. History will view the failure to reconstruct the towers as the key event in the decline of New York from the worldís most dynamic and resilient metropolis to one which, like ancient Rome, became increasingly irrelevant.

  7. To allow Ossama to change our
    landscape is ridiculous.

    Only rebuilding the twin towers
    will wipe out the affront done
    to us.

  8. I have many pictures of the towers hanging in my home. They have been hanging since before 9/11. My father and I both worked in WTCI. It is heart breaking to look at the downtown skyline and to not see those majestic towers.

  9. I watched them burn from the 69th St Pier, photographed the experience and cried. A Fireman’s Bullhorn on the Pier is wonderful, but only rebuilding the Towers bigger and better will tell the world: We are not afraid and can’t be defeated by cowards.

  11. Even five years after the attack you can look at any photo, painting, drawing, etc. of the New York skyline — What do you see? The Twin Towers. I refuse to believe that we would allow our skyline to be altered permanently and then try to repair it with a shadow (Freedom Tower) of the symbolic & powerful buildings that once defined our city. Raise up the TOWERS!
