Let’s cease and desist with all of this incessent bureaucratic tail-chasing and rebuild the World Trade Center in its majestic entirety, EXACTLY as it stood prior to 9/11/01. The Greatest City In The World (and all of America) deserves nothing less!!!
The only buildings I want to see back are the Twin Towers the way they were. Anything less and we give in to the terrorists. I don’t want the Freedom Tower. I want see my beautiful Towers back, nothing less. I truly believe the murdered victims would want the same thing.
We need our leaders to be men and women of vision, like Lew Rudin who showed the true spirit of New York: a can-do attitude during the lowest depths of the city’s fiscal crisis. It was tragic that Rudin died just days after the 9/11 attacks, and even sadder to know that he died with the knowledge that he would not be there to help his city recover, and that our current “civic leaders” would simply not have what it took to dare, to dream, and to resist the demands of those who hate civilization.
Please rebuild the towers. I lived on 26th street, around the corner from the Armory (where all the families went to find (what they thought were) missing loved ones. I watched the whole thing from my friend’s apartment rooftop in Brooklyn that day. Please rebuild those towers. DO SOMETHING ALREADY. It’s a shame that they can’t get past their differences, stupid politics. Just break ground and get building. Everyone will finally be able to move on from their aching hearts.
Give us back these beautiful iconic structures, upon the view of which (from one mile north) I meditated every night. That stupid “Freedom Tower” is nothing but a glorified tv antenna, and the other buildings are nothing. The upper floors can be sold to oil-rich middle-east countries for use as embassies, consulates, guest quarters, mosques (?!–why not) for at least $100M each, which is chump change for those governments. Kind of insurance, and cash to re-build.
I want the towers rebuilt to their former splendor. They were towers of hope and happiness; and of freedom and pride. I do not want the Freedom Tower built on the grave site of so many who were lost just because of a resolvement that people want only for money. God bless the Twin Towers and everyone who perished on September 11, 2001.
I think rebuilding the twin towers would show the terrorists and other people who are trying to undermine this country that we are not afraid of them. This would send a message to them that they cannot mess with this great nation.
To me and many New Yorkers, rebuilding the Twin Towers wild definitely make a statement to the terrorists that we are stronger than ever. The Freedom Tower represents weakness by Governor Pataki and those in charge of the reconstruction. They should scrap the idea for the Freedom Tower and rebuild the Towers stronger than before and with a better memorial.
rebuild them,
they would be the best practical office space,
they would be the best monument,
they would be the best image of what america is and what the enemy hates.
rebuild them and rub it in!
It is sad I drive over skyline drive and I used to look and see the twin towers but now its just a big gap of nothing. To build the towers again will fill hearts and hope for the country
This is not only a must for today’s generation but for all generations to follow. New York needs to rebuild so that all of the world can see that it will never allow any person or persons to scare or intimidate the soul of our freedom and democracy. You can fly into buildings all day long and you will never be as strong as we are !
I think we should rebuild the towers the same way we need them in the skyline. we need to show the terriosts they cant take the towers away from us,i always thought the towers were so great to see i know all of the newyorkers would love to see the towers again we need them back. NO FREEDOM TOWER,WE NEED THE SAME OLD TOWERS BACK GOD BLEES AMERICA.REBUILD THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.
I was working at 40 Worth Street from 1965 to 1991. I remember when the World Trade Center was under construction and I have been going through it hundreds if not thousands of time.To me it had been a personal loss. I would like to see it rebuilt to its original design. Leave all politics out of it and I do not believe that widows of that day has any more right than all the rest of us.O ver 30,000 citizens die each year on the Nation’s highways. What about their widows and widowers???
not rebuilding the twin towers is the most rediculous thought- these folks making the choice aint new yorkers, they dont really care. let the people’s voice be heard. it makes me sick to see the freedom tower and if they make it, i will feel sick everytime i see it, and i should never feel sick looking at my city. god bless america. 319

Rebuilding the towers would be like getting up and brushing our selves off and faceing the enemy with stronger resolve.
If the towers are not rebuilt it shows weakness.
If multiple phalanx “Anti-anything airborn” Guns are not mounted on the building it shows stupidity.

Rebuild as they were, but stronger and higher.

In our hearts forever.

4 towers, twice the height of the fallen towers
We should build the towers back the way they were. The Twin Towers is the real New York. I think we should put them back bigger, better and in gold!

2 twin towers built…not exactly the same…but with the famous “shape” they once had.
