The face of our city has since been destroyed, the moment those beloved towers fell to the ground. We will never forget the heroes and the victims that perished that day. But what we will forget are those towers that they were in that trying morning. We need to do what is right for victims and rebuilding the Twin Towers will prove to all other countries that our nation will never tolerate terrorism. We shall not change the face of our skyline and kill our pride for terrorists.
There is so much I would like to say.
I have been to the Towers many times and it hurts to see old pictures of it now. But firmly think it should be built as it was. Any other landmark (ie White House or Senate ) would be rebuilt as is so should the Twin Towers.
Defeating islamofascism requires not just beating this enemy on the battlefields and the rat-holes they hide in, it also requires defeating them in our own minds. What good is victory without resolution? Not only should the twin towers be rebuilt, but they should be taller, wider and more imposing than before. They should be more than mere buildings. They should be a statement….Don’t tread on me!
Rebuild the Towers bigger and better than they were. Let’s do something constructive now, it has been way to long without any concrete evidence of progress.
Pataki and the Bloomberg are a disgrace, not as people, but as visionary men. The vision of New York’s skyline will far exceed, outlive and outlast the current imbroglio that has produced the Freedom Tower compromise.
With the utmost respect to all family members affected by the death of loved ones in the tragic terrorist attack, the public should be allowed to debate which buildings should stand on this once brilliant site. There has been no courage from the government on this issue.
This is a wonderful web site. I learned about it from an article in the New York Sun. You need to find other ways to publicize it, so a groundswell can be created to rebuild the towers.
God forbid that The White House had also been hit by a stolen terrorist-commandeered aircraft — as we now know was intended — The White House would not have been rebuilt as a “White House Tower”. It would have been replicated as The White House. That’s what should be done here. The Twin Towers and nothing else. Restore the N.Y.C. skyline as it was pre-September 11, 2001!
Maybe not an exact replica but something close that restores the skyline and the planning principles espoused by the likes of Jane Jacobs. The Freedom Tower is contrived like Freedom Fries or the rantings of a commentator on Fox.
I believe that the twin towers were unique in the world. Freedom towers can be found elsewhere; there is nothing special about them. We should rebuild the twin towers exactly as they were, except structurally improved and a couple of stories higher. That’ll show the world what NY and America is made of.
Additionally, $500 mill for the memorial is an obscene figure. We should have something tastful and appropriate, but $500 million is simply over the top.
While the World Trade Towers were pretty ugly ( the boxes the Empire State and Chrysler came in, as the old joke goes) it is essential that two buildings as big, hopefully better go on the site. American deserves no less.
Rebuild the towers.Their beauty was their uniqueness.The Freedom tower is architecturally rediculous. Half of it is unuseable.The designer was famous for building a three story building in Europe.He must be a relative of Sen. Schumer. What is this Memorial all about? I must have missed it. 58,000 soldiers died in Vietnam and a memorial could not be built until the funding was publicly raised.I am unaware of any public clamor for anything other than a plaque on the ground floor of the first tower
Retired FDNY. Saw them built. Saw them fall. Dug and cried.
Rebuild them with pride and remember all those that lost their lives, may they never be forgotten!

Bring the skyline back to NYC
Bring the skyline back to NYC
Bring the skyline back to NYC
This is a great idea.
Rebuild,replacing shouldn’t even be an option.
NYC does not look the same without the Twin Towers. I hope one day I could see the new and improved Twin Towers from a far view once again.
keep up the fight…
Build better and taller than before

Please rebuild the twin towers as they were!
Amen!

Even if we don’t replace the twin towers in kind, they should build a twin for the Freedom Tower.

NO to any new projects! Rebuild Twins!

The best possible solution.
