SHOULD REBUIELD THE SAME AS WE HAD BUT 1 MORE FLOOR HIGHER.THIS WUOLD LET THE WORLD KNOW ” YOU CAN KNOCK US DOWN BUT WE WILL COME BACK BIGGER- BETTER AND TALLER” SEE YOU CAN TAKE OUR BUILDINCS BUT “NOT OUR HOPES-DREAMS AND SPRIT.
Any effort to build anything else but the Twin Towers is a victory for the terrorists who perpetrated this horrible act.
I grieve for the families and friends of those who perished in the attacks (I myself knew members of the staff of Windows of the World and of its security company, MAS).
However, when the Dutch purchased Manhattan in 1626 from the native Mannahatans, I am fairly certain that burial grounds and other lands that were considered sacred were rebuilt “for the greater good”.
I saw the Towers built, watched them go up from what seemed like the bowels of the earth to touch the sky. We must rebuild them exactly, but stronger, better and one story higher. Would that some day I will again dine at Windows on the World. The only memorial should be the towers back and beautiful.
Everyone seems to forget the shouts in the street for rebuilding the WTC on Sept. 11th. I do, I am absolutely disgusted by this giant surrender tower/trophy to Al-Qaeda they want to build. They tried to bring it down in 1993, then they succeeded on Sept 11th. and it will forever be a success for terrorism as long as the towers are not rebuilt.
Freedom Tower succeeds wildly at stating to the world that, for a moment in time, the United States withered in the face of global terrorism. The prior design, just as unfortunate, was alledgedly ripped off from a Yale architecture student.
There is no soaring spirit in this design, only morbidity and capitulation. The design says we couldn’t soar; that we did not have the courage or strength to soar. Rebuild the Twin Towers taller and better than before.
The project should have been turned over to Trump long ago. I feel politicians create obstacles to cause delays and to protect their, lets say, “interests”. I don’t believe any consideration was given to the victims’ families and to metro New Yorkers as to what we want to see happen at Ground Zero. I personally want to see the towers rebuilt bigger than before. Anger over what our government let happen to us as a nation consumes me till this day. Our elected officials should, for once, listen to what the people have to say.
The picture on your home page says it all: without the Twin Towers standing there will always be something missing. I worked on Vesey Street (across the street from the World Trade Center), witnessed the horrible devastation when I returned to work.
It’s about time we move forward and stop the bureacratic BS!
For me, the WTC symbolized many things, among them the strength and viability of this city and of this country, no matter what the odds. They were an unmistakeable part of the Manhattan skyline and they should be put back on opposite footprints. Remember those lost by building the WTC the same but better, not by reducing it.WTC IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS! LETS PUT THE REAL DEAL BACK WHERE IT BELONGS! MAY THE TOWERS RISE AGAIN, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
The rebuilding of the Twin Towers is a moral imperative, perhaps even more so than their initial construction. I am New Yorker by birth, a former downtown resident but still work downtown. A civilized and forward moving society does not cower in the face of challenge but instead rebuilds in a bigger, better and stronger fashion. That would be the greatest tribute and honor to those who died on 9/11, those who built this great city and a lesson for generations to come.
I was a direct witness to this horror and still today the image of the towers coming down, reminds me of the horrible feeling in my heart at that moment. I felt powerless, without answers, without leaders, and still feel that way. As New Yorkers we will never heal if we don’t rebuild what was part of us, part of our proud city. Our leaders mention the word rebuild, but what they are doing is changing, not rebuilding. I use to love to drive around the B.Q.E. under Brooklyn Heights and enjoy that view. REBUILD.
Every barbarian act of terror and kidnapping must be responded to with the same reply; you get nothing, you win nothing, you change nothing. To replace what has been destroyed is first and foremost not a gesture, it is the reaffimation of who we are as a people.
NOTHING COULD BE BETTER FOR NEW YORKERS AND THE WORLD THAN REBUILDING SIMILAR LOOKING TOWERS, STRONGER AND TALLER = TO BE WORLD’S TALLEST AGAIN!
IF YOU REBUILT IT QUICKLY, IT SAID KNOCK US AND WE GET BACK UP 123, BUT NOW DRAGGING ON TO BUILD SOME SILLY SKELETON BUILDING..BAD MOVES! REBUILD THE TWINS ASAP!
After these many months, I still cannot look in the direction of that empty space in our skyline, and in my heart. Your proposal gives voice to the personal hope that New York’s majestic profile could be restored as it was, with towering twins to tell the world of our undaunted audacity. Nothing less can truly fill that void in our city’s sights-to-see, and instruct our enemies in our citizens’ constancy and courage. This idea is worthy of immediate support and action.
The memorial should be in an added 5 story walk up to the observation desk. Along the walk up should be a stained glass memorial to each victim with an eternal flame in the center.

I would like to see the skyline retuned to the stunning image I use to see from my home in Brooklyn.
If we really want to “get on with it” let’s do it and get on with it!
I wouldn’t have known about this petition if not for the wonderful Alicia Colon of the New York Sun. So: Yes, rebuild them!

Bring them back
Rebuild ASAP.
